Heroism isn't just for the animals.

What a very brave young man.

Adrian,

Each and every one of us owns a unique "flight" or " fight" mechanism , and depending upon the stressers that we encounter, we will react accordingly.~

We will either "run" from away from danger, in fear, or, fight it, head on!!!


Congratulations Adrian~ You instinctively came to the defense of a very good friend, and you reacted with all the boldness and the courage that is necessary when you are suddenly attacked without warning!!!

You saved her (Goofballs) life Adrian---You actually did!!!!

You are such a Brave young Man, and all of us on Pet Talk are so glad to learn that both of you are doing fine!!!!

Tell Adrian it is only natural to have his first instinct to be to protect his buddy in any way he can. -- Sophist

I was thinking the same thing. Adrian was outdoors with Goofy. I don't remember reading that they did anything that would have provoked the other dog. That must have been a very scary experience. I'm very glad that Adrian acted to protect Goofy. I don't think there was any other thing he could have done. I hope they will be extra-special buddies now, more than they ever were. And if Adrian's friends give him any grief about his fluffy, silly dog - all he has to say is that she might be fluffy and silly, but he rescued her and saved her life. I hope that will hush up Adrian's friends. And if it doesn't, then I wish Adrian friends who will think Goofy is special and be proud of Adrian for rescuing her. Just as we are!

Adrian,

You did a wonderful thing for your sweet friend. I pray Goofy makes a full recovery. You should be proud of what you have done, we sure are. You are both in my thoughts and prayers.

I know he isn't supposed to post till he is 13 but I let him read this thread and he asked, besides I don't think a thank you actually counts as breaking the rules

Wow am I ever impressed! I have never heard about a boy of your age with such bravery and smarts in his body!! If you hadn't kicked this dog goofy might not be alive right now. You saved her!! What an awesome owner you are! I don't know if I could even be that brave! I think I might have just ran away and hid!!! You should be proud of yourself! Wow I still can't belive what I'm reading. I bet your mom is so proud of you we all are too. Good Job!
