Heroic Dog Alerts Family After Owner is Struck by Car in Heartrending Display of Loyalty and Instinct

Good Boy: Heroic Dog Alerts Family of Owner’s Accident

Nashville, TN – In a poignant display of loyalty and instincts, a family dog leaves no stone unturned as he rushes back home to alert his family that his human mom was struck by a car. Rhoda Kubasti, an active 39-year-old woman, is now fighting for her life after a minivan hit her head-on in a tragic accident last week.

Remarkable Loyalty

Rhoda was strolling with her dog, Ghost, on Gallatin Pike, when an unfortunate turn of events led to her being hit by a minivan. The dog, in a display of exceptional loyalty, dashed back home to alert the family of the accident. If it weren’t for Ghost, Rhoda’s family would have been completely in the dark about the tragic event that unfolded.

The Incident on Gallatin Pike

According to witnesses at the scene, the minivan struck Rhoda head-on leading to grave injuries. Ghost, who was with her at the time, ran off at high speed, heading straight for home. Rhoda’s mom, Joyce Manter, couldn’t express enough gratitude for Ghost’s alertness. “He came back home, and she wasn’t with him, so he let us know within an hour of this accident what had happened,” a tearful Manter said. Rhoda’s home is a mere 15-minute stroll from the accident site, near the Rivergate Skate Center.

Severe Injuries and Hope for Recovery

Rhoda has been placed under intensive care following the accident. She incurred broken bones and a brain injury, leaving her unconscious. “Wake up and come back to us. God is our healer and just perform a miracle on her,” Manter prays with high hopes of her daughter recouping completely from this catastrophic incident.

Fostering the Hero

Due to hospital visit restrictions, Ghost is currently placed in a foster home. Despite the tragic occasion, Ghost’s actions remain a beacon of loyalty, reminding us of the pure bond between humans and their pets. Rhoda, a single mother of two, was known in the neighborhood for her generosity, often found baking cookies and pies for locals.

Loved Ones Rally Support

While Rhoda continues to fight for her life, her friends and family have come together to support her two young daughters. A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to ensure the girls are taken care of while their mother is out of work and battling her injuries.

The Driver’s Fate

Although the driver immediately rushed out to help after hitting Rhoda and has cooperated thoroughly with the police, the authorities have announced it is unlikely they will be facing any charges.

A Tale of Faith and Resilience

In this time of pain and heartbreak, Rhoda’s family, friends, and even her dog Ghost are showing immense resilience and faith in the face of adversity, spreading the underlying message of love, hope, and the miraculous bonds between humans and animals. Rhoda’s recovery continues under close medical observation with prayers for a miracle.
