    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!

    What a brave young man you are, Adrian! I love my dogs very much but if this happened to me, I am afraid I might be too scared to kick the dog so he would stop hurting my dog. I would scream and scream but I don't know if I could try to divert the dog's attention by kicking it. The fear of a pit bull attacking me and hurting me might make me do nothing (but the screaming). You are indeed a hero, and you shouldn't worry about hurting the other dog. It isn't his fault that he was trained to be mean but there was no other way to stop him from most likely killing your pup. Congratulations to you!

    AJ -- We're all really proud of you for protecting Goofy so well! Try not to feel bad, you stood up when you needed to and did the right thing - and hopefully both you and goofy's stitches will heal up quickly so you guys can get back to doin the things you like to do together!

    Adrian, don't worry about nearly puking afterwards, that's the adrenalin and aftermath - no reflection on you as a human being. And, as Pooh once told Piglet, courage isn't about not being afraid, courage is being afraid and doing it anyway. Thank you for rescuing your friend.

    Dear Adrian,

    You did the right thing! I applaud your curage, standing up for a friend in danger takes a lot of heart and its a testiment of your character. You earned some good karma today, pat yourself on the back!

    Adrian, you are a VERY VERY brave young man!
    You should be very proud of yourself!
    Goofy is lucky to have someone as brave as you as a friend!

    Adrian, you are a remarkable young man. I just read your story and found it deeply moving and inspiring. You are indeed a true hero, your selfless act of courage will be a part of you now forever. Such things help shape who we are in life, and this is something you should always look back on with pride and joy. I know it had to be difficult and certainly traumatizing. So often it is our loyal and faithful pets that put their lives on the line for us. What a gift that you could be the hero this time to your buddy, Goofy, to return her unconditional love in such a courageous act. As a pet lover, I thank you deeply for doing what you had to do to save your wonderful companion's life. I know Goofy is grateful in her own doggy way.
