The dog who saved a boy on the highway

This is not something I often do but this story about this very courages dog has touched my heart, therefor I just need to share it. No pictures in this blogpost, sorry!

This story is about a dog and a little 2 year old boy named Randy. It is taken from the book: A diet for a new America. I hope you like it like I did.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Little Randy wandered away from home one day. When his parents noticed his absence and couldn't find him anywhere, they called the police. But even a two-hour police search did not locate young Randy. The parents were becoming extremely alarmed, and when they noticed that the boy's dog, a St. Bernard named Ringo, was also missing, they found themselfs praying that the big dog was with their little son, and was somehow protecting him.
Meanwhile, a man named Harley Jones had to stop his car for a traffic jam on a highway about three quarters of a mile from Randy's home. Getting out of his car, he asked other stopped motorists if they knew what was the problem. They told him the trouble was "caused by a mad dog in the road ahead." Curious, Jones walked toward the head of the line of stopped cars to see for himself what was going on. What he saw wa a St. Bernard, stationed resolutely in the center of the highway, barking wildly, and letting no car move by in either direction. Jones saw the dog was protecting a little boy who was merrily playing the the center of the heavily-travelled thoroughfare. The dog would stop any car that dared attempt to drive through the area, and then would immediately rush back to the little boy, and nudge him toward the side of the road. But the little fellow, thinking the whole thing was just a game, would return to the center of the highway.
Jones spoke Soothingly to the St. Bernard, and managed to calm him down. But the dog would not like a single car move by until the little Randy was safely off the road.

This dog risked his own life to safe the little boy he loved and cared for. The dog went with the young boy as he walked away from home and protected him from the cars on a highway. This dog really is a hero.

There are more of these stories in the book. Maybe I will end up posting more of them on here.
