Hero pit bull pulls owner from train tracks in life-saving rescue<\/h1>\n

Massachusetts dog drags unconscious owner, escapes an oncoming train but gets seriously injured<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Lilly the pit bull saved her owner, Christine Spain, of Shirley, Mass., after she fell unconscious in front of a moving train on May 3. The dog was seriously injured.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

A pit bull that made a life-saving rescue by pulling her owner out of the path of an oncoming freight train now needs a helping hand herself.<\/p>\n

Lilly, an 8-year-old pit bull, was with her owner when the woman fell unconscious on train tracks in Shirley, Mass., on May 3, according to ABC affiliate WCVB in Boston.<\/p>\n

Lilly managed to drag her owner, Christine Spain<\/a>, off the tracks just before the train rumbled through. The conductor was unable to stop the locomotive in time, and the wheels wound up slicing through the dog\u2019s right foot, fracturing her pelvis and causing other internal injuries, MyFoxBoston.com reported.<\/p>\n

Spain was uninjured.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe saved my mom\u2019s life,\u201d her son, David Lanteigne<\/a>, a Boston police officer, told WCVB.<\/p>\n

He said he rescued Lilly from a shelter several years ago and gave her to his mother as a way to cope with her alcoholism.\u00a0Spain had relapsed prior to the incident, and she was arrested at the scene on charges of obstruction and danger on a railroad track, ABCNews.com reported Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The dog is now recovering at an animal medical center, but her family needs help paying for treatments. The center is working to collect donations.<\/p>\n

A vet told reporters he expects the dog to recover following a front-limb amputation.<\/p>\n

\u201cLilly\u2019s recovery from this horrific ordeal is my top priority right now and I\u2019ll do everything possible to get her back home to us,\u201d Lanteigne said to WCVB.<\/p>\n

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America!
