We have always said that a dog is man’s best friend.
Byron, a 25-year-old who would not be alive today if it were not for his dog Geo, can prove this.
Byron suffered from depression after breaking up with his girlfriend. He thought to hit the bottle to end the pain he was feeling.
After a few months, the alcoholic Byron made a decision and decided to write a letter to his family saying that he did not want to live anymore and that he would commit suicide.
But there was someone in his house who did not allow him to do this. Byron Taylor felt like he was at the bottom and there was no other way out.
One day, while completely drunk, he made a noose. Then, he went downstairs to write a farewell letter to his family.
Geo, a six-year-old Welsh bullmastiff, had taken the noose while Byron was downstairs. And when Byron tried to get the rope back, Geo refused to give it up.
At first, Byron thought Geo just wanted to play. But he soon realized that the dog was serious. Geo had somehow sensed what Byron was going to do and gnarled his teeth like he’d bite Byron if he tried to wrestle the rope from his mouth.
And when Geo finally let the rope go, it was in tatters.
Today, Byron says he wouldn’t be alive today if it weren’t for Geo.
“In a way, I think Geo knew what I was going to do. They have a sixth sense of this kind of thing. He knew something was up,” says Byron.
Geo’s quick action was enough to stop Byron’s plan and put him in a different mood.
Byron started working hard to cope with his depression, but a few years later, he was hit with another hard blow.
Geo was diagnosed with an aggressive tumor and was given only days to live.
Byron started a fun online to pay for Geo’s medical treatment, but unfortunately, the veterinarians couldn’t do anything to save the dog.
Byron decided to do everything in his power to help Geo live his last days to the fullest.
Now that his best friend has passed, he’s eternally grateful to him for giving him the greatest gift possible… the gift of life!
