I have done lots of things over the years for different dogs and cats and some lost ones that I came across in the middle of the streets. I have never thought about it, I just did it to save them. I think if you love animals, you will do anything you can to save them from harm. Lots of love, Debbie and Holly♥I am Holly♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/15463732288448178247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003358793060880725.post-5707126704944553482010-08-06T22:12:29.867-04:002010-08-06T22:12:29.867-04:00You are a brave mommy Mimi,

Well, I can't really call it a decision, because I didn't think about it. I just acted. You see, Shelby has a tendency to be an escape artist and when she gets out she runs like the wind! I never knew a little dog could run so fast... that and being low to the ground... I cannot catch her. So, I learned early in Shelby's life that the only thing I could do is stay behind her running after her and step out in front of moving vehicles to protect her. I know they can't see her from their car because she is tiny. Anyhow, one time Shelby escaped (and so did Milly this time) and they took off. Fortunately for me, my husband and father-in-law were both there. I grabbed Milly (who is fatter and , therefore, slower) and handed her off to my father-in-law and just kept running. I looked up to see a HUGE truck coming down the road. I knew I had to act fast because she was headed back to the road, I quickly dove for her and grabbed her up just as she reached the side of the road and the truck passed. I hate to think what would have happened if I had missed her... if I had been half a second later. The truth is, my dogs are my children and I protect them as such. They give me 100% of their love and devotion and there is nothing I would not do to keep them safe. I say all the time I'd sell everything I own, I'd beg, steal, and borrow to keep them happy and healthy. I kid of owe it to them, ya know?<br />~MaggieA MilShelb Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13770728487605353254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003358793060880725.post-21959562290107336252010-08-06T13:07:27.602-04:002010-08-06T13:07:27.602-04:00I think we would all be amazed at what we could do...I think we would all be amazed at what we could do if needed.

I wish every dog and cat could have an owner that cared that much.<br /><br />My story isn't terribly heroic but about 1 1/2 years ago, I was walking Ranger down the street (on leash) when a 110 pound shepherd mix broke from from the 10 year old boy who was holding her leash. The dog made a beeline toward Ranger and jumped on top of him and started biting him. The small child tried to pull his dog off but it wasn't working. I still had hold of Ranger's leash and with the boy on top of his dog, the only thing I could think to do was sit down on the street and force my legs between Ranger and the dog to at least try to cover Ranger and protect him from more bites. Finally, the adult owner sauntered - literally - over and nonchalantly pulled his dog off Ranger. Luckily, I wasn't bitten and Ranger only sustained a few puncture wounds.<br /><br />It wasn't until later that I realized how poorly my decision could have turned out. But I wasn't about to just stand there and watch that dog kill mine.mayziegalhttp://mayziegal.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003358793060880725.post-59508853768243906332010-08-06T12:05:38.225-04:002010-08-06T12:05:38.225-04:00I know I'd do something, but I don't think...I know I'd do something, but I don't think you know exactly what you'd do until something happens.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12197340334699196246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003358793060880725.post-77467772905936117742010-08-06T10:34:40.402-04:002010-08-06T10:34:40.402-04:00We grew up on the Tippecanoe River in Indiana.

My mom, a meek, mild-mannered lady with the heart of a lion, crawled out onto the ice of that river on her belly to save our family dog of 17 yrs., who had fallen through the ice on the current side. She made headlines in our small town newspaper. And, we never looked at her the same, after that little adventure!!^..^Corgidogmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06087352436997512186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003358793060880725.post-52496642913636985562010-08-06T09:32:57.960-04:002010-08-06T09:32:57.960-04:00I'm glad that he wasn't more seriously inj...I'm glad that he wasn't more seriously injured! I wouldn't think in a situation like that, I'd have acted first without thinking, too.
