First, I’d like to be added to the doggie list.
Second, darn this story broke my heart.
I had a dog save my life once. Too, I have a dog looks almost like Dakota right now. She’d give her life gladly for me or my beloved granddaughter.
The dog that saved my life now rests in our garden under a handsome grave marker. What happened, my daughter had a boyfriend and hey, my daughter sure can pick them.
So one early eve this guy comes to my door and he’s all acting crazy. Seems he and my daughter had a fight of some kind and he wanted to see her.
Well my daughter wasn’t home but this fellow had been inside my house several times before and I was about to open the door to let him in, wait for my daughter maybe, I don’t recall.
But my dog, a normally friendly as all get out mongrel dog was barking like demons had possessed her. Which was odd as she knew this fellow and often sat and let him pet her. Anyway she was barking so much that I had to tell the fellow that I don’t know what’s wrong with the dog but she just wasn’t going to let him inside.
The next day we hear on the news that this same fine fellow my daughter with the questionable taste in men was dating had beat a GUY TO DEATH WITH A BASEBALL BAT!
The very next day...hand to God.
I am quite sure that my dog sensed something about this fellow that I didn’t pick up at all. Like I say, he’d petted her a few times in the past.
The dog I have now is a Belgian Malinois. These are the dogs that were used for searching the rubble at the World Trade Center. If you remember they got so bored that the rescuers had to pretend to be buried just so the dogs could be happy. In fact, Belgian Malinois are the preferred dogs of police departments across the land.
Anyway, I just broke down in sobs when I read this story. What a beautiful dog.
I am sure she gave her life gladly. How heartbroken her handler must be. Makes me want to scream.
Hope this cool guy spends some time in jail such a clever, happening guy.

What a battle with the temptation to reciprocate!
