Canine Hero Stories
Everyone has a canine hero. If it is not Rin-Tin-Tin, Lassie, Benji, or another Hollywood canine star, it is a pet of their own, or one they have read about in the newspaper.
A Rottweiler named “Bear” became the canine hero of owner/handler Officer Edward Ernstberger after the dog caught 3 bullets in the line of duty, saving his life. Bear jumped out of a police cruiser to attack a prison escapee who had just shot her owner, preventing him from getting shot again. Both recovered their wounds. Today they enjoy a leisurely life of retirement together, best friends to the end.
Cindy Davis’ canine hero was a tiny stray she took into her heart and named “Spook.” The loyal pup showed its appreciation on June 24, 2002. The incident happened when Davis was stung multiple times by a swarm of angry yellow jacket hornets while working in the garden. Davis, who was seriously allergic to hornet stings, collapsed and hit her head before she could make it back inside the house for her medicine. Spook roused Davis into consciousness by repeatedly licking her face and refusing to leave her side.
On March 17, 2004 firefighters praised an Australian terrier named “Eddie,” who sacrificed his life for that of his mistress. Instead of fleeing the burning building, the valiant dog ran deeper into the house. Barking, scratching, and whining at the closed door to the bedroom where his mistress lay sleeping, Eddie was finally able to rouse her in time. He was officially awarded a hero’s burial for his bravery and loyalty.
What Makes a Canine Hero?
Pets who are heroes don’t always have such dramatic stories. Many canine heroes are every day dogs who simply love their caregivers, and give unconditional love; dogs who prove loyal and true.
A canine hero can be any size or breed of dog. Canine heroes are dogs who have been good companions over the years; dogs that have stayed faithfully by their caregiver’s side, in sickness and in health.
A canine hero is a dog just like your dog…a loveable, furry bundle of joy that adds quality of life to the days of their human caregivers.

I don’t think so. You have to revise your looks. In general your blog is good, but sometimes your posts are creepy.
