Her Dog Whined Every Day While She Was Pregnant— It Was Almost Too Late When She Found Out Why

Alhanna didn’t think twice about the pregnancy pains she started to experience in her 18th week of pregnancy. Her husband also didn’t sense anything out of the ordinary when his wife started experiencing nausea and fatigue.

Soon she started to experience intense back pains and her dog’s worry began to make more sense. What this dog sniffed out stunned even the doctors who were taking close care of the mother and child.

Keola Was Very, Very Protective

Alhanna and Keola, her dog, always had a close bond, but as she went through her pregnancy, her dog seldom left her side. This dog had an incredible protective streak that surprised Alhanna and her husband Ricky throughout her pregnancy. And, that is exactly what this breed of dog is known to do. Japanese Akitas are known for being very intelligent and protective of their owners, and that’s exactly what this one did, even when it seemed to be a flaw in his character…

They Had Him Since He Was a Pup

When Alhanna and her husband Ricky got married, they knew that they wanted to start a family. But before they had any kids, they adopted a sweet Akita Inu named Keola. This pup immediately proved his loyalty and sweetness to the couple, but the skills he would show off soon would blow them away.

Keola Sniffed Out a Positive

When the couple started trying for a baby, they went through a few pregnancy tests. After one test came up negative, they threw it away without thinking twice. But their dog knew that something was up. Alhanna explained, “

When we returned, Keola had gone through the bin and had got the pregnancy test out of the bin. She had never touched the bins before so it was very odd. She was sat with it in front of her like she was trying to tell us something.”

She Was Stunned by Her Dog’s Skill

Alhanna explained the story, “I grabbed it and saw a faint second line – I couldn’t believe it. I showed Ricky straight away and said Keola was saying I was pregnant but he said the line was too faint and it was just coincidence so we binned it again.

“The next day I went to buy a more expensive test and it said I was two weeks pregnant. I told Ricky by writing a note as if it was written by Keola and attaching it to her collar for him to read. We were both over the moon and we realised that Keola was truly a special dog who could detect things that we couldn’t.”
