This war veteran’s puppy may have been only six months old at the time, but she certainly knew what needed to be done when her owner was in danger.
Dave Sharpe, of Arlington, Virginia, was suffering with severe post-traumatic stress disorder when he decided to put a pistol in his mouth and commit suicide.
But his pit bull Cheyenne saw him crying with the gun in his mouth and licked his ear, convincing Mr Sharpe he had something to live for.

Really, really nice story, but a year later the dog would have bitten his damned ear off...My "pit bull" nibbles on my earlobe in a most exquisitely gentle manner...
and has done so for the last 10 years.
I don't want to wreck a nice thread so I'll leave my comment to you at that.

My red heeler of 13 years is never more than three feet away. That means bathroom during the night, every trip from one room to another, up the stairs, down the stairs, kitchen table to sink, and so on.......as you get the picture. I will be something far less than I am today when she is gone. She knows when I’m even having a hint of a second of a bad day. She knows if I’ve got a scratch, sore back, or headache. If anyone tries to come into bed once I’m asleep, she’ll rip them a Cujo growl and snap. I will then wake and give her the ok for them to come to bed. Unfortunately my wife has never appreciated this kind of loyalty.

Just put it in the way you want it. You don’t need help to add a keyword.

Which I eventually did. But the system doesn’t give me a way to back out a botched keyword (nor does it warn that spaces will be elided rather than treated as separators).

I can so relate to that.
My pal turned 14 a few months back.

Every day is a blessing.

I don’t see “dogdoggie” but there’s no reason to fix a botched keyword. It’s just a keyword that no one will ever use. It doesn’t matter.

God put dogs on this earth for a purpose.Indeed. And for those not so inclined to Believe, it is my contention that Dog and Man co-evolved in many places.
