I sent it to my Cavalier list, too, and one of the Canadian list members sent this response. I thought I'd share it with our list because it is about a German Shepherd Dog!!!!!!!!!!!! Peggy > Okay that did bring tears and memories. > > My three year old son wandered off and across the highway heading for > the creek. A neighbour up the road spotted him and our dog , a German > Shepherd, just before he crossed the road. Fearing the worst because I > could not find him, I made one last ditch effort and called the dog. > She came out of a wooded area close to the creek with my son in tow. > This was a dog who never left our yard but had the sense to stay with > a child to keep him from harm. You have to bless them. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
