Unexpected Behavior
When Catherine Svilicic adopted her new dog, Khan was very sweet and gentle with her daughter. She only had a slight concern about the newly adopted Doberman because he was a rescue puppy. It's quite common for rescue dogs to have traumatic pasts that can lead to unwanted behaviors. Still, she decided to adopt the new furry friend in the hopes that he would join the family smoothly. She never guessed this would happen...

Making Additions
So the Svillcics as a group decided that they wanted a new addition to the family. It was not so long after Catherine had given birth to her baby Charlotte, and she wanted her new tot to grow up with a companion by their side: a partner in “crime” who the baby could have fond experiences with. When the time came though, they believed that the best port of call would be to get a dog that most people would not want.

Khan’s New Home
But Catherine had no problem bringing Khan home and having him share a home with Charlotte, who was now 17 months old. Catherine knew that the adoption was a risk. Not even the most seasoned of dog owners can guarantee that Doberman will be perfectly well-behaved, especially after suffering from abuse from previous owners. The amazing thing is that Khan was scheduled to be euthanized just a week before Catherine adopted him, he just survived after a twist of fate.

Playing Together
But Catherine remained adamant that she had made the right decision and let the two carry on playing. Charlotte and Khan spent a long time just running around peacefully, neither making too much noise. But out of the blue came a moment of madness. Khan flipped, took the child and tossed her across the grass. As a result, Charlotte flew a yard away and slammed her back on the ground. A moment went by when everyone stood still, in absolute shock.

Silent Witness
What made Khan’s motive even more perplexing is that Catherine witnessed the entire incident from the kitchen. And she was experiencing an absolute nightmare and began to see the wheels turning in Khan’s mind. When he saw Charlotte, he saw red. For some bizarre reason, he considered the toddler as a threat. Catherine hoped that after pushing her across the grass, that would be the end of it. But unfortunately, Catherine would need to intervene, as it was just the beginning…

Unbelievable
Charlotte didn’t cry, but she was certainly distressed after being thrown across the grass by who she thought was her new friend. “Had I not seen it with my very own eyes, I’d never have believed it,” said Catherine. She rushed over to attended to her poor baby girl who was naturally bewildered by what had happened. But all of a sudden, Khan barked frantically and fell to the ground. The entire family was completely confused as to what was going on.

A Great Sacrifice
But despite his heroic efforts, Khan had become severely poisoned by something. Khan had a large wound in his body that needed attention immediately! After only being with the Svillcic’s for just four days, Khan was already on the verge of death, but only after expressing his love for his little friend, Charlotte. There’s a lot to say for Khan’s benevolence, after risking his life to save this little girl’s who he was still getting to know. His life was hanging in the balance…

Time To Take Action
Catherine immediately ordered all of her family to go into the house. She picked up Charlotte and handed the disturbed little girl over to one of her family members. Once her entire family was safe, she attended to Khan to inspect the damage. What she saw was absolutely heartbreaking: there was her dog, with his tongue hanging out of his mouth, laying motionless. Despite already looking dead, Catherine had faith and wouldn’t give up on her boy.

On The Road
As Catherine sped through streets to get Khan treatment, she looked over at her dog and cried in awe of his sheer bravery. And after he had put his own body on the line for Charlotte, Catherine was now doing the same for him, especially as her emotions were causing her to drive fairly recklessly. It didn’t help that she was in a rush to save him. “I never knew I was able to drive this well. I guess adrenaline does its thing,” she said.

Unconditional Love
Reminiscing on carrying her beloved dog, Catherine said, “if you asked me to carry his weight right now, I don’t think I’d be able to do it.” At one point, the protective instinct must have been so infectious that Catherine took on the mantle after Khan had displayed it so heroically in their garden. Something took over Khan when he saw that Mulga ready to pounce on Charlotte. Something so primitive that has been ingrained in all animals for a long time.

So How Was Khan?
All Catherine wanted now was for Khan to survive this horrific ordeal. And only thirty minutes after he was sent to the emergency room, the doctor who attended to Khan returned to the room to speak with Catherine. What he found would be quite the sight: she was pacing around the waiting room and her body was sweating profusely. She ran up to the doctor, asking many questions and desperate for all the answers. Was Khan going to be OK?

A Sleepless Night
So many emotions were running through Catherine’s head that night. As a result, a mind went into overdrive, preventing her from sleeping. She just held on tight to her baby Charlotte, ridden with guilt. She wasn’t there when she needed her the most and then someone else had to pay as a result – possibly with their life. But she felt a great sense of relief and gratitude as well. But still, she lay there, thinking about Khan.

The Moment Of Truth
Catherine was the first person in the waiting room that day. She had over prepared herself mentally in anticipation for the fateful answer. Did her hero live on to play another day with Charlotte? Or was the dog going to meet his tragic end? Catherine was extremely worried, so she inquired at the office of the vet who attended to Khan to see if they had the results. The time had finally arrived to find out the answer…

Look What We Have Here
Low and behold, Catherine discovered what almost killed her family. A long brown shape was moving slowly through the grass. The truth became increasingly clear: Khan was not trying to attack Charlotte. On the contrary, he was desperately trying to save her life. It turns out that she was close to a Mulga, an incredibly venomous snake and one of Australia’s most dangerous creatures. Khan saw one of his trusted companions in danger and simply wanted to help.

Khan The Protector
And in a sheer act of fearlessness, Khan blocked Charlotte from the Mulga’s attack. He essentially shielded her from her certain doom, he just didn’t know his strength when moving her away from the snake. And even though he took a lethal bite as a result, Khan stayed on his guard as he scared the Mulga away. In a life that had already been full of mistreatment and injustice, Khan was compelled to give back to the first family to truly love him.
