And it was the dog who sensed the danger first. Without its sharp ears, its instinct, its desperate barking – the bus could have crashed into one of the wrecked cars.

The people inside the bus realized they had just avoided disaster. The passengers’ eyes were on the husky, who still stood alert by the windshield, never taking its eyes off the road.

The police officer, the dog’s owner, patted its neck and quietly said:

— Well done, boy. You saved all of our lives.
