Heroism isn't just for the animals.

[DrKym]

Hi!
Many of you already know about Adrian and Goofys very scary night last night.

I wanted to take the time and applaud a young hero, who without thinking of his own safety came to the defense of his friend and cuddle buddy. Now this heros friends think his dog is silly because she is fluffy and barky and nippy around them. But they have never been at the other end of her kisses, or shared ice cream under the covers when Mom wasn't looking. They have never sat with this friend for hours looking at Yu-gi-oh cards, or being attacked by dragons and growling and pklaying back on rainy days.

They have never slept away the flu together, or even just hung out watching fireflies. Yes she looks silly with bows (her hero makes her get blue ones) Yes she is very nasty to his friends (she knows she has a keeper in him and doesn't like to share) Yes sometimes even the hero grumbles about walking her when a really good toon is on.

But when her life was threatened, and her hero heard her cries he came to the rescue just like his beloved dragon masters. He mustered up his courage and fought for his friend. He may have hurt the other guy, maybe not. But it made the other guy let go long enough for him to snatch his friend up and run to safety. His friend was hurt pretty badly, and he was hurt not so badly, but his friend lives, because he saved her.

Sometimes we all think the worst of kids. Plenty of media to tell us to, and sometimes Love conquers all.

To my son I am very proud of you, no matter how scared your actions made me. I am proud, and I know Goof is grateful. Thank you for being a terrific friend and great kid.
Love,
Mom

Adrian, you were very brave and did absolutely the right thing in order to save Goofy. The fact that you're upset about possibly hurting the other dog just shows what a kind heart you have. You were placed in a dangerous and frightening situation through no fault of your own, and you should never be ashamed of acting quickly and courageously to come to Goofy's rescue.

I hope that Katie and Cricket give you extra cuddles and kisses. You certainly deserve it!

To Adrian,
I am so glad you were there with Goofy at that moment to help her and protect her from the other guy. Please do not feel bad if you might have hurt the other guy. You only did what was right at that time. When things like this happen your adrenaline kicks in and helps you through the rough time. This is what happened with you and you did everything right.
I tend to think of you as a hero. I am very fond of Goofy dog (we had a cocker spaniel before we got our current dog), and I am so happy that you were there to protect her. I am sorry you and Goofers were hurt in the process. And I don't even want to think about what could have happened if you were NOT there with your best buddy. Every thing happens for a reason, sometimes we can't explain why. But you were there with Goofy to help her.

That's beautiful, Kym. I am so glad Goofy is going to be OK, and this whole thing just probably made their special bond closer. Your son is a true hero and I can safely say he will be a great dad to an animal when he gets older!

Cheers to you, Adrian!

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!!!!
