Taking a midday walk is usually an easy way to relax and get some gentle exercise. For one family in the UK, their lunchtime walk became the opposite of relaxing when they ran into a swarm of wasps. Thankfully the family dog protected the mother’s disabled son, Darragh.

According to The Express, Lynsey Hayes took her 12-year-old son, Darragh, and their family dog, Bobo, for a midday walk. Darragh has cerebral palsy and used a special disabled bike on the walk. When the group was moving along a canal bank, they came across a large wasp nest.

Lynsey shared that “Bobo was running and started barking continuously….Bobo was being stung and when I ran over to pick him up, the wasps attacked me.”
