Champ is able to help Zach and Hannah because he was a Goosebumps fan as a kid, so he knows all the monsters weaknesses. When he saw Taylor in danger by the werewolf he had come over his fears. He leaped into action and wrestled the werewolf, protecting her. Afterward, Taylor thanked Champ for saving her life.
