Legendary Rescuer Throws His Body into Traffic to Sheild Dog

Here is a story about this guy who crosses 4 lanes of traffic to save this injured elderly dog.

Last year, hero Don Hill became famous overnight for the rescue of 15-year-old Roadie. Don’s extraordinary measures to save the life of this elderly throw away and the love he exuded for the dog brought in tens of thousands of readers and more than 1,000 personal letters to Don from as far away as Afghanistan and Nepal. Don has done it again, and his most recent rescue will leave you breathless.
Written by Don Hill
About 10 weeks ago, I was on my way back from Atlanta to my home in the North Georgia Mountains above the small former gold rush town of Dahlonega, GA. I stopped at a traffic signal for a very busy three-way intersection for three major four lane highways, when on the grass island in the middle of this hectic and dangerous intersection I was horrified to see a German Shepherd Dog who was pacing back and forth on the grass island. Obviously frightened to death, it appeared to be extremely emaciated and was holding up its left hind leg not putting any weight on it or touching it to the ground, leading me to believe the leg had been injured.
My heart was pounding in my chest. I was so scared it was going to run out in to the very heavy traffic before I could do anything and I was going to see it die right there in front of me. My first instinct was to drive my Jeep across the intersection and right up over the curb and onto the grass island and try to save it. My mind suddenly flashed back to Laredo my White German Shepherd Dog who had died at age 13 of a massive stroke, after 10 years with me, just months earlier on September 18th, 2011. Then just as suddenly, my mind was back on this poor dog — terrified, injured and surrounded on all three sides by speeding cars and trucks. I knew if I went with my first instincts there was a good chance my Jeep charging up over the curb and onto the grass traffic island would scare this dog into running out into the traffic.

Compare thee to a dog

The intense gaze of an Australian shepherd. Source: Flickr user sarzc.

Thou sayest thou art as weary as a dog,
As angry, sick, and hungry as a dog,
As dull and melancholy as a dog,
As lazy, sleepy, idle as a dog.
But why dost thou compare thee to a dog?
In that for which all men despise a dog,
I will compare thee better to a dog.
Thou art as fair and comely as a dog,
Thou art as true and honest as a dog,
Thou art as kind and liberal as a dog,
Thou art as wise and valiant as a dog.

– Sir John Davies, epigram to In Cineam (1594)

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

Way to tell ‘em, Sir John Davies; time we started showing dogs some respect with our aphorisms.

Idaho Wolf Tortured in Trap

Normally I would post a dog related story...But Not Today.Today I read this email and I was Shocked!
I thought Wolves WERE Protected by our Govt.
According to this story, They ARE Not Protected
For years I have supported the protection of wolves and then I read this story!!!
Please sign the petition to help protect them.
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/247/332/306/?z00m=20259312

It's been open season -- figuratively and literally -- on wolves since a misguided congressional rider ignored science and took them off the endangered species list. But this latest news takes it a step further. An actual forest service employee was involved in the torture and eventual killing of a wolf by a road in Idaho. » The wolf was shot multiple times by passersby and suffered in agony until the forest service official stopped by to finish him off. Then he posted a photo online of the spectacle. This cruelty alone deserves an investigation. But taking a longer view -- wolves are supposed to be conserved like any other game species. But under the guise of protecting the interests of livestock and elk, anti-wolf elements are working to dramatically reduce the number of wolves in the Rockies. It took years of hard work to reestablish wolves -- and thus restore balance to the Rockies' ecosystem. The species' delisting shouldn't open the doors for the cruel mistreatment and extermination of this important species. Sign the petition to demand an investigation into the wolf torture incident by the Forest Service and Idaho Department of Fish and Game. »
