Wonder dogs!
Is it just me or does everyone wonder what their dog would do in a crisis?
We have a staffy called Bodhi and he’s not the sharpest tool in the shed. He loves us very much and I don’t know what he’d do under pressure.
When Gabe (our 15 year old) was born we had a blue heeler called Indigo Blue (we called her Indi). When we all went for walks, Indi used to run around and around the pram…it was driving me crazy until someone told me she was rounding it up. Keeping safe the precious cargo she knew to be inside.
From the moment Gabe came home from hospital if we lost Indi, we always knew where to find her, faithfully sitting in our bedroom guarding the bassinet.
There’s a great but very sad story out of Sydney this week.
On Monday night, three masked men burst into an elderly man's unit, but they hadn't bargained on Rocky the German shepherd.
Two-year-old Rocky – apparently a only ever guilty of licking a visitor to death in the past - recognised the men as hostile and attacked.
Rocky was sleeping next to his master's bed when the men entered the bedroom. The dog ran at the first attacker, who shot him once in the chest, causing the puppy to stumble.
Undeterred, Rocky attacked again and the same man kicked him and then shot him a second time in the chest and forced him to the ground.
With Rocky bleeding on the floor, the offenders then threatened the elderly owner with the gun before stealing cash and other valuables.
A police spokesperson says Rocky, who also suffered a broken leg, was in a serious but stable condition at a veterinary hospital. Apparently well-wishers had been calling the hospital since the story broke, offering to pay for Rocky's operation.
Like I said, Bodhi isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, but I’d like to think there is a little Rocky the wonder dog in every puppy!
