I don’t know where this happened, or who the guy is, but what a nice thing he did! Please let me know if you have any info on this. How great to see a happy ending!
Reader’s Digest Hero Pets of the Year

My bad! I totally missed the boat on this one. Over the summer, Reader’s Digest ran a contest to find a winner for the award of Hero Pet of the year. Finalists included 2 dogs, 1 horse, 1 cat, and 1 parrot. No big surprise that one of the dogs won!
 I’m sorry I didn’t get this to you in time to vote – I’ll put it on my calendar to check on for next year. At any rate, the stories of the finalists are available on the Reader’s Digest site - they are very touching.
 Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
Pregnant Dog is a Hero
September 29, 2009
According to a recent story in the Canton Repository, kudos are due to Jada, a mixed breed who lives here in Canton with Tabitha Billings. Seems an intruder broke into their home and threatened Tabitha and her 3-year old son with a gun.
Meet Chesley Sullen-barker
May 29, 2009
I took my kids out for ice cream after their baseball game tonight, and we ran into the nicest dog at the ice cream shop. His human said he had lost his front leg in a car accident and then went to the Humane Society, where they met. The man was looking for a hero’s name for the dog, and had just about settled on Chesley Sullenberger III (after the pilot who successfully ditched his plane in the Hudson), when his daughter suggested a slight change: Chesley Sullen-barker!
What a great dog!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Have you heard about China, the hero dog from Argentina? Apparently, she is a better mom than her 14-year old human neighbor. Check out this story from the small town of La Plata, about 40 miles south of Buenos Aires.

Tank the Wonder Dog

From New Zealand: Tank, a four-month old terrier mix began jumping on the bed of his guardians early in the morning. Just another one of the “joys” of having a puppy, perhaps?
