Would you get in between an aggressive dog, wild animal or monster to save your child?

Question

If an aggressive animal or monster was heading towards your child's direction, would you get in between? This means accepting you're literally dead meat. 100% chance your child is saved but 80-90% chance you'll die. If you survive you're going to suffer serious injuries.

Meanwhile your child is safe (as the animal or monster got distracted by you, going after you instead) and ran to safety, you're either badly injured, mauled to death or devoured. If you're a grandparent, same... would you do that for your grandchild?

I have done it. And would repeat if needed. I rescued my then 2 years old daughter who happened to be between fighting Rottweiler and Pit Bull Terrier. The good thing is both dogs knew us, so I knew that as long as they don't crash on my daughter she is safe.

But I wouldn't hesitate even if I didn't know the dogs.

Unless I was completely paralyzed from fear which I cannot control then yes, I'd do it in a a heartbeat.

Well I don't have kids, but if I did you bet your ass I would jump in the way of anything to protect my child. Even if it meant I would die in the process. Don't care if a fucking bear is trying to attack my child, while I may be afraid of the bear myself i'm not letting it touch my kid.

any parent would and should and must do that or else they are living trash including myself

Zoeysiren · Answer

Honey, in that situation, mama bear kicks in. No question. Fear melts away when your kid's in danger. I'd try everything to distract or scare away the threat, call for help if I could, but getting between them and my child is what I'd do.

Without thought for my safety. I've done this for Cece, my little pup against a huge Argentinean dog.

Of course I would I couldn't just watch that happen.

Unless the dog is completely rabid, a rolled up newspaper or magazine works wonders.

Yes, I would either kill the monster or hang onto it long enough so my kid could get away

Agape93 · Answer

No. I wouldn't have wanted the best to begin with, I'll let the monster have it

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

I don't have any children, and I'd still go over to the aggressive dog, wild animal, or monster just to pet it.
