Dogs do not spare their lives to protect their masters, brave block in front of the master.

Mr. Paul from Romania still has a vivid memory of his experience 4 years ago.

He and his dog, Rafael, were on an outing in the forest when they encountered a fierce wild lynx. If his dog had not sacrificed his life to protect his master, Mr. Paul might have been bitten by the lynx.

Romania is one of the countries with the largest number of lynxes, and in Romania, lynxes are fierce and powerful animals.

The lynx here are large, have large territories, and dare to attack humans and human-raised animals.

There are more lynx in the wild in Romania

Mr. Paul is well aware of the dangers of lynx. In Romania, it is not uncommon for people to be attacked by lynxes and injured. And pet dogs are often no match for the lynx when faced with one. Some large lynxes can bite pet dogs to death within twenty minutes.

Mr. Paul's dog, an ordinary pet dog, is usually good at demolishing things at home and will open the refrigerator to steal food.

Mr. Paul said, "When you own a dog, it is to have more happiness at home, not for the dog to become a hunting dog or working dog, and have not trained their dogs before."

Mr. Paul's dog was not a Samoyed, but just a regular pet dog

At that time Paul took his dog into a forest that he had not been in before.

A friend told him that lynx existed in the area, but Paul didn't take it seriously.

Lynx can establish larger territories, some of which can be up to 20 kilometers in diameter. Lynx patrol their territories every day.

In Romania, because the lynx has fewer natural predators, the lynx here are more aggressive and strong. Paul did not expect that he, and the dog, had entered the territory of a lynx.

This accident brought Paul danger from the lynx.

"The lynx followed us quietly and then suddenly started to attack, fortunately, my dog found it in time and alerted me with his voice." Mr. Paul said he was completely unaware that there was a lynx not far away, which was larger and twice the size of his dog.

The dog bravely fought the fierce lynx

Soon, Mr. Paul's dog protected his master, and in front of his master, took the initiative to charge the lynx.

The dog kept trying, trying to draw the lynx further away from Paul.

"Although not trained to own a dog, but it was very brave to protect me," Paul said the lynx then tried to attack himself several times and was blocked by the dog.

Paul saw his dog was injured, but the dog was still brave and did not flinch at all.

Lynx are smart animals, if they find their opponents strong, they will look for opportunities to leave

Paul's dog showed a strength that people did not expect.

Although the dog is weaker than the lynx regardless of speed and strength, it has the aura of sacrificing its life to protect its master. The dog constantly barked and then hit the lynx with its body. The dog will also use the canine paws to raise the soil from the ground, trying to affect the lynx's vision.

Mr. Paul gradually regained his composure, he found a thicker branch, held it in his hand, and carefully joined the dog and lynx battle.

But what moved him was that the dog had been cleverly stuck between Paul and the lynx to keep the lynx from hurting its master.

The lynx was eventually repelled by the dog

Eventually, the lynx found that he did not have the advantage, so he left in silence.

The dog barked and chased after it, which made the lynx a little nervous, and quickly left Paul's view.

Today Paul and his dog still live together, they have not encountered the lynx again, for his dog, Paul is very loving.

"Sometimes dogs can surprise people, they can show amazing courage and strength, dogs are not only our human friends but also our role models," Paul said he was influenced by the dog and became more courageous to face life, and he felt lucky to have such a dog.
