Dogs try to rescue lady

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a Nigerian lady, @iyanutheresa, showed people the kind of strong love her dogs have for her.

Standing some metres away from them in her compound, the lady shouted and clenched her stomach to get the animals' reactions.

Immediately she pretended to collapse from the pain, the dogs were seen running towards her in the TikTok video, trying to see how they could help.
