Woman Says Hero Dog Dragged Her To Safety

THOMASVILLE, Ga. -- A wayward dog is being hailed as a hero for saving a Georgia woman's life.
Shannon Lorio, 36, said her car careened down an embankment, tossing her through the rear window and leaving her sprawled, cut and bleeding, on the vehicle's trunk. She said the German shepherd found her bruised and battered on the trunk.
She said he 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.
Lorio said the dog, now nicknamed "Hero," is always going to have a special place in her heart. She bought him a bone and some treats.
Hero's previous owners gave him to a Humane Society shelter because he kept wandering off. But he won't be there long. At least 50 people have offered to adopt him. A dog trainer has agreed to see if Hero has the right stuff for search and rescue work.
Lorio said she can't adopt Hero because she already has six dogs .
