Emma Turner, 41, from a Wiltshire farm, walked around her sheep as usual when one of them suddenly began butting her in the chest. Before that, a calm ram, which had never shown aggression before, seemed to have gone mad
He left several large bruises on Emma's chest. A few days later, examining the bruises, the woman discovered a slight swelling. When she went to the hospital and underwent a biopsy, it turned out that the tumor was malignant. Previously, Emma had no idea that she had any signs of illness.
Emma Turner was prescribed several courses of chemotherapy, which would not have been so successful if the disease had been detected at a later date. Everyone in the hospital believes that the ram saved Emma's life.
“Alfie has never been so vigorous,” the woman says. “His mother died during childbirth and I was raising a lamb from birth. He never pounced on me, but on the day when I gave the sheep vitamins, he suddenly accelerated and hit me very hard right in the chest. „
4 months and six courses of chemotherapy have passed since then. The test results showed complete recovery from cancer. Now Alfie the ram is a real star in his herd on the farm. People come specially to see him.
Emma is firmly convinced that Alfie pushed her on purpose, as he felt her illness and wanted to draw the attention of his mistress to her.
“Those who say that sheep are stupid simply don't know anything about them. Alfie is very smart, he saved my life."
