Just after Thanksgiving, a man and his family were involved in a road rage incident in Atlanta, in which the driver of the other car involved ended up spraying his vehicle with gunfire. The man's name is Kidon Martin. His wife and I believe at least 2 of their children were in the car at the time. Miraculously, none of them were hurt....but their young german shepherd dog, Noah, stood up in the rear of the SUV and blocked gunfire from hitting the family. Noah was not so fortunate. He was shot in the neck, and jumped out of the car to chase the assailant, but ended up dying from his wound. Elizabeth Smith Wilkerson saw the story and was so touched by the family's trauma and the sorrow at losing their beloved pet, that she decided to donate a puppy to the family for Christmas. She delivered the puppy, Kris, to the Martin family yesterday. From the pictures on Facebook - - it looks like everyone is just thrilled and happy. What a kind thing to do. Nice to pay it forward at this time of year (or any time, really...).....several of our members also helped a lot, including Kathy Tank, Peggy Kurz...probably lots more I don't know about. Check it out on Elizabeth's Facebook page, and the GSDCA page. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2014.
