THOMASVILLE, Ga. (AP) - A south Georgia woman bloodied in a car wreck says
she owes her lifewouldn't stay in his yard.
Shannon Lorio says that after her car careened down an embankment, the
wayward dog found her bruised and battered on the vehicle's trunk, pulled
her by her shirt collar, dragged her about 50 yards through briars to a
highway and let her lean against him so she could flag a passing motorist.
His new name: Hero.
"That dog is always going to have a special place in my heart," Lorio said
Friday. "He's my hero."

Hero's previous owners have signed him over to the Thomasville-Thomas County
Humane Society since the Jan. 26 accident because he kept wandering off.
He won't be in the shelter long: Not only have at least 50 people offered to
adopt him, a dog trainer has agreed to see if he has the right stuff for
search and rescue work.
Lorio's car tumbled backward down an embankment in a remote, heavily wooded
area. She said she lost control on a curve and was thrown onto the trunk.
"I was bleeding from my face and my nose," she said. "All of a sudden, I
felt a presence - a really huge presence. He was straddling me. I have
watched too many horror movies about werewolves and vampires. I thought he
was going to eat me."
Instead, the dog licked her face, she said.
The 2-year-old dog, weighing 70 pounds, dragged the 136-pound Lorio to the
highway, then stood by to help her summon help before she collapsed, she
said.
Lorio, 36, of Pavo, said she can't adopt Hero because she already has six
dogs, but she's showered him with gifts including a huge bone and a stuffed
animal.
"If he ever needs anything, I'll be there," she said.
Dog trainer Heidy Drawdy, of Thomasville, will take Hero next week to see if
he's cut out to be a search and rescue dog.
First item on the agenda for the wandering canine: obedience training.
