When a young couple brought home their newborn daughter, their golden retriever, Lora, immediately became attached. But something about her behavior began to worry them.

Every night, Lora would sit by the crib without moving—no sleep, no water, just silent, watchful guarding. At first, they thought she was just being protective. But as days passed, her strange stillness began to feel unsettling.

To ease their fears, the parents set up a night-vision camera. What they saw chilled them.

At 3:12 AM, Lora suddenly sprang up, growling at the window. A hand was slowly pushing through the screen. Without hesitation, Lora lunged, barking and snapping until the intruder fled.

Police confirmed a serial burglar had been targeting families with babies. Lora had not only scared him off—she had bitten him, leaving behind blood and glove scraps that helped lead to his arrest.

From that night on, Lora was never locked out of the nursery again. She had protected her family—and earned her place beside the crib forever.
