Woman Flies 6000 Miles To Bring Home Stray Dog That Saved Her From Attack, But She Didn’t Expect This
Vacations are supposed to be a time for relaxation, but for Plymouth University student Georgia Bradley, of Cornwall, her trip to Crete almost turned into a nightmare. The young woman was alone on the beach when two men asked her to go for a drink, and then turned violent when she refused. Thankfully, a stray dog courageously came to her rescue and scared the assailants off. But when she returned to the UK, Bradley faced a new, unexpected, problem.
“When I got home I couldn’t stop thinking about her,” Bradley told the Daily Mail. “I took the soonest flight back out that I could, which was two weeks later. It was a real risk because we may never have found her again. But when we saw Pepper on the beach, it was the best feeling ever.”
It took Bradley several trips, totalling thousands of miles and dollars in expenses, along with a long quarantine, to bring the dog back to the UK. And the biggest surprise? A week after landing, Pepper gave birth to six puppies! “It has been such a crazy journey. But I am over the moon. Pepper has settled in brilliantly,” says Bradley.

Wonderful story! What an unexpected and lovely surprise! Thank you for going back and rescuing Pepper (:

If she's from Cornwall and attend Plymouth University, why did it cost her thousands of dollars? Is there a Cornwall and Plymouth University in the USA?

One of the very best rescue stories I've ever heard. Ms. Bradley is in my opinion a supreme Human! Pepper's value will only increase with the unconditional love that exists between a human and dog. May they live long, healthy and happy lives.

What a lovely story. I admire her for what she did. So many of us befriend strays abroad but wouldn't know the first thing about bringing one back home with us. Well done Georgia!

This dog reminds me my old lady as a young girl. Can I adopt one of the babies ?

If the dog is attacking the human aggressor, and she is actually pregnant, wouldn't that was because she was in pregnancy hormonal? pregnant animals does become over-protective.

God sent her back there for a purpose. Without her those puppies probably wouldn't have had a chance. Prayers for them all!
KarolinaStrunkinaitė 10 years ago
God didn't send her there. She is a grown woman, she decided to go there because she quickly bonded with the dog. As if god doesn't have more important things to do. Like rescuing abused women and kids or starving Africans...

What a wonderful with a happy, if surprising ending. But it is also a warning to single women about going to foreign lands alone.
