Thank you, list, for suggesting that Eva be nominated for Hero Dog. I just talked to Gayle (Gail was a misspelling) , and she said when she ran back to the house with the cops, they had guns drawn, and Eva was still in attack mode. She screamed at them "Don't shoot my dog", and got Eva under control. She was trying to go out the window after them. The cops told her that Eva probably saved her life. She is going to send me a written document of the event, along with a police report. I am very shaken by this, as many of you said, it seems to be fated. She did not even come to my house to get a dog, she came with my daughter (who is her friend), and I just let Eva in for socialization. The bonded before my very eyes. Eva is very very aloof, but was all over Gayle. Gayle asked if she were available, and that was that. Gayle thinks they were together in another life. Eva has been difficult to place because she is so strong willed and so tough...She needed a real "dog person", which Gayle is. Wow, what an experience this has been. I wonder if I have anything here at home like Eva! She always checked every room in the house when she came in, just instinctual....that was what she did at her new home, and Bingo! I told Gayle to never open a door that Eva alerts to again, just run out of the house, and call the cops. She agreed...and is still a little shaky.
