This pit bull put her life on the line to drag her person from the train tracks

Christine Spain suffers from alcoholism, so her son brought her a rescue pup, Lilly, a pit bull, whom he hoped might help his mom cope with her illness.

As it turned out, Lilly saved Spain’s life, almost giving hers up in the process when she frantically managed to awaken Spain, who had passed out on some train tracks near her home. Unfortunately, an oncoming train struck Lilly, who lost one of her legs but eventually recovered.
