Would a dog give its life to protect its owner ?

If you had a dog like a German Shepherd which is supposedly loyal, is it possible it could risk its life to intentionally save its owner?

yes i believe a dog would give his/her life. i have often said my german shepherd mix would give his life just as i would give my life for him. i used to work third shift so i slept during the day. a few minutes after i laid down- we heard the door knob move- my dog jumped on the bed and stood cross ways across me, like he was saying you have to go through me first. so yes i truely believe they would give their life for the person they love.

Recently a pitbull saved an infant from a burning house. The dog was badly burned but is said that she will make a full recovery.

This dog was not trained--she was loyal to her family and was courageous to go back in and get the child.

So yes, dogs will save their owners.
