Hero Dogs Save Boy from Drowning

Posted by Joy Butler Dec 16, 2007

I read an impressive article in the Daily Telegraph online today. It stated that two dogs, a Rottweiler mix and a Staffordshire Bull Terrier saved a two year old boy from drowning in Queensland, Australia. The boy had fallen into a dam and was found on the bank with the two dogs beside him. Police reported scratches on his arms and drag marks from the water to where he lay. A police spokesman said, "We are certain the dogs pulled him out of the dam." I find it ironic that some feel that both of these breeds are inherently aggressive. In fact, these breeds are even banned in certain areas. This baby boy, who did not need CPR and is recovering at home, was very fortunate that this was not the case in his area. Just more evidence of the intelligence of dogs and one more example proving that it's not the breed, but the owner, who determines if a dog is "good" or "bad."
