An Act of Heroism

I was talking to a friend of mine on the internet earlier and this was the story she told...

She was driving down the street through a residential neighborhood when, out of nowhere a large dog attacked her car. She slammed on breaks but accidentally struck the dog. She jumped out of the car to see about the dog, who was injured but seemed alright. Just behind the dog, however, she could saw something that made her heart stop. In the middle of the street, in the direct path of her car, was a 18 month old little girl, who had tripped and fallen in the middle of the road. Her frantic mother was just behind her. The young mother, holding her crying child, told her that the child was playing in the yard, while she watched and she decided to chase her ball into the road and the dog followed her and she tripped over her shoelace. The mother was running towards her child when her car came around the corner, and it was obvious that she didn't see the child and wouldn't going to stop in time, the mother was so frightened that she couldn't even scream. The dog, however, placed herself between the car and the baby and lunged.

The dog's back leg was broken but the vet said that she would make a full recovery. Other then a skinned knee, the child was unharmed. Her parent's are very grateful to the brave dog that risked her life, without hesitation, to save their child.

It's amazing how, without us even realizing it, these animals become so devoted to our children.

Comment if you have a dog that would do the same for your child. I know mine would.
