Tuesday in Oregon City, Oregon a group of friends were playing behind their apartment complex when one of the kids stepped on a rotting log – unleashing a swarm of bees!!! The kids immediately fled from the area – but 8-year-old Jeese-Cole Shaver was unable to make his way up a hill and to safety. Enter Hades the pit bull, Fox 12 reports:

Luckily, that’s when “Hades” did her doggone best to help, grabbing Jesse-Cole by the leg of his pants.

“Hades saw me and came and dragged me up to the grass and stopped and let me crawl on her back and took me to my mom,” Jesse-Cole told Fox 12.

His mother, who did not want to be identified, says she was in her car when she heard the kids screaming and running up the hill surrounded by bees. She was astonished to see her dog dragging her son to safety, after he’d already been stung at least 24 times.

“Oh, I thank my puppy,” their mother added. “I’m so glad we adopted her.”

A couple of the kids were stung – and were taken to the hospital, where the were treated and released. The kids say they won’t go back down the trail behind their apartment ever again.
