Oh, Barbara, I didn't know you'd pull this thread so quickly.  I have TWO HERO 
STORIES.
One, in my humble opinion, is a truly awesome one because of two things --- the 
dog involved
was less than a year of age and the person whose life he saved had only met him 
that day!!
I boarded a horse for a man for a month while he was hospitalized, a widower 
who lived next
to his daughter but she couldn't care for the horse that long.  When he got out 
of the hospital &
called me to return his horse, he said he wanted to buy one of my GSDs. He 
asked to please
let him know when I had a litter available.    He bought a male - related to 
the great GV BANKER!
He had no fence in his front yard, but taught that pup to stay within a certain 
area.  I have done this
and have seen it work with other folks.  OK - his daughter had a bunch of 
visitors one Sunday or
Saturday, not sure which.  There was a Toddler girl among the visitors.  When 
the man visited them
for the food - the dog was with him, of course.    He returned home and, as 
usual, the dog stayed on
the carport relaxing.     About an hour or so later, someone knocked on his 
door.  A man stood there
holding the hand of that Toddler.  He said he was sorry about the little girl's 
dog, but he had no choice!
As he was driving down the road, he saw this dog and girl, the dog was, going 
around her, as they
both were at the edge of the road - it was obvious the dog was trying to get 
her off the road -- He did
push her and the man hit and killed the dog.  The girl had gone down, but had 
rolled out of the way and
was fine.     NOW THAT IS HEROISM!     The other was another dog a family got 
from me who, as
the Mom told me, she was in the yard doing yard work with her 4 year old son 
and the GSD.  She was
not paying much attention to them as this was a routine --   Suddenly, she 
heard the dog barking like he
wasn't nearby-- she couldn't see him or her son.  The side gate was OPEN and 
almost to the road, she
saw them and the dog was doing the same as what I was told by this man about 
his.  Going around the
child to try to push and/or herd him back toward the house.  SPLENDID ---

  I want to thank all those who shared their stories with us about the 
  "heroes" that live with you. It goes to show you that they're not just 
  one of the most beautiful of dogs, but the courage and the love that 
  they show for their loved ones is unequaled. What's a pretty face 
  without a brain?! Loved reading the stories! Thanks for sharing. Barbara
