recently risked his life to save a dog that had been hit by a car
in Itajaí, according to Brazilian news site Guarda-Sol.
The injured dog remained in the roadway after the driver who
allegedly struck it drove off. Jean then ran between oncoming
vehicles to pick up the helpless animal and bring it to safety,
Brazilian outlet Globo Rural reports.
Jean's mother, Rubia Liliana Rose, told BioBioChile that her
son loves animals and will rescue ones he finds abandoned or
abused.
This incident, captured by photographer Rafaela Martins,
drew praise from netizens after Brazil's News Agency of
Animal Rights posted the story to its Facebook page on
Monday.
"This little boy is already larger than many men," commented
Aline Ropelli.
The dog — identified as Honey, or Mel in Portuguese — is
still in the care of vets at a local animal control center but is
doing just fine, according to BioBioChile.
