Kobe the husky dog digs a hole and saves a neighborhood from a gas leak catastrophe
View Date:2024-12-24 00:33:32
When Kobe, a 4-year-old husky, began digging a large hole in the yard, his owner, Chanell Bell, had no idea the dog would end up saving her home and her entire Philadelphia neighborhood.
"We’ve been here at our new home for a while now and he never digs holes without me, so I knew something was up," says Bell.
Bell had a gas leak in the house earlier in the month, so, out of an abundance of caution, she decided to test the hole with a gas detection device. What she discovered was bone-chilling. Kobe had detected a major gas leak that could have devastated the neighborhood.

"We were told it could've caused serious health effects like respiratory issues, brain damage, and even death,” says Bell. "They told me that something as simple as a light switch turning on could've caused an explosion too."
However, thanks to Kobe’s persistence, engineers were able to plug the leak and avoid a disaster.
"It feels amazing to know Kobe saved our block,” says Bell. “I am very thankful to have him.”
