Plymouth University student Georgia Bradley was about to be attacked by two men while on holiday in Crete when she was saved by a stray dog.
The 25-year-old 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 came to her rescue and started barking angrily at the attackers, scaring them off.
But that wasn’t the end of the story. “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.”
Bradley ended up taking several trips amounting to thousands of miles and dollars in expenses to bring the dog back to the UK.
But there was more. 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,” Bradley said.
