Heroism isn't just for the animals.

What a wonderful thing to do for Adrian, Kym.

Adrian, you're such a brave person for doing what you did. Not only are you a fine young man, but you will grow up to be a fine adult as well. Great job!!!

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!

**Lilith Cherry** · 04-19-2007, 07:40 AM

Adrian you are a true hero! You defended your friend goofy and came to the rescue when you were needed most. I think that showed true courage and you should be as proud of yourself as we are of you! I do hope both you and goofy are feeling much better very soon.

Adrian, you are a wonderful courageous boy for sticking up for your Best Friend. You heard her cries and came to her rescue...she would have done the same for you. You have made your bond so very strong and showed your Goof that you will fight to protect her from any danger. Your sadness for the young pittie just goes to show that you have a loving and caring heart and that is a wonderful trait. Anything that happens to her has nothing to dog with you...you are a God send to your little Goof and she will be forever greatful to you. Speedy recovery to you both.

Thank yo all for what you said to my son, I printed off what is here so far and he took it with him to class. I told him that when all is said and done we will bind it and add some pictures of Goofy, it will be a wonderful keepsake for a Job well done!

Adrian....remember me? I spoke to you on the phone right after I was seriously attacked last April.When a dog is in such a frenzy, it's going to bite anyone in it's path. Your kick distracted the dog long enough for you to rescue your pal. You don't know if it wouldn't have bitten you anyway. It's something you can't keep worrying about. I know it's hard, I do. What you should dwell on is the fact that you saved Goof's life. Believe me, I don't regret my injury one bit because I saved a puppy's life in my own back yard. You do what you have to do in emergency situations. You are such a compassionate, caring, smart, incrediblly mature young man, and you are my hero. Thank God Goof will be Okay especially with your extra loving care and your wounds and pain will subside too.

Big hugs to you, pumpkin. Love ya!

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!

You are my hero!!

adrian, you did the right thing. i was scared when i read the story, but i respect and admire your strength of character in doing what you had to to save goofy. as angie said,and i'll steal it, you're my hero

**K9soul** · 04-22-2007, 03:13 PM

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.

Hello Adrian -

I just read that Goofy came home from the hospital earlier today. SHE IS HOME BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU DID! You helped a friend in need, who couldn't take care of things alone. You stepped right in without hesitating and made sure things worked out better. That is a wonderful accomplishment. You did good, young man! Give Goofy plenty of gentle hugs.
