Hero Dog Rescues Dog From Highway In Chile
There are several different videos of this same footage..I am posting two here because it's the most touching thing I've ever seen...It happened this past March in Chile. It is an aerial view of the first dog being hit and it is horrible. I am NOT promoting this..What's important is the second dog running out into traffic, weaving his way and looks like he gets hit or ends up under a truck but he gets his friend and drags him out of traffic.. Not with his teeth or mouth, but with his paws!!
It's beautiful and gives us greater insight into the heart and mind and conscience of dogs...of animals. They are not dumb, stupid or unfeeling!!

Pulling One Over On Scully Boy- Kind Of...
So, it's been established that Scully likes to bark at birds and squirrels, chasing them as far away as possible.
He patrols the yard from one side to the other, making sure no winged creature- high-flying planes included, lands in the yard...
or on the the roof.
He also patrols to make sure no squirrel tries to come in and take over his territory.
I wrote about one such squirrel a few posts ago.
Scully chased him along the top of the fence and almost ran into the street.
Well, I think the "he" squirrel is a "she" squirrel. A "mama" squirrel to be precise.
Driving me close to insanity with his barking to go outside, I grabbed my breakfast and took Scully downstairs to sit in the sun.
After making his rounds, Scully "assumed" his "sunning position" in front of the landlady's garage door.
Once again his eyelids became slits as he went into his alpha sleep.
It was a peaceful time. There was a cool breeze blowing and birds singing. I enjoyed my food and the calmness I felt.
As I placed my bowl of gluey oatmeal on the step, my eye caught movement under the car.
A fierce-looking, brown squirrel came to the edge of the bumper with a little animal in its mouth. It looked at me and then at the slumbering watch-dog. We stared at each other and it looked like the little creature in its mouth was dead..legs spread apart, almost stiff. It had a white tummy and was light gray. I realized it was a Mama Squirrel (caps are now appropriate because I have named her as such) and it appeared she was moving her baby, who was playing 'possum. She was breathing heavily, the little burden in her mouth weighing her down, she looked at me unflinchingly. I looked at her and then motioned to napping Scully, who had no clue his greatest dream could have come true at that very second- to be up close and personal...face-to-face with a squirrel! I looked at her as if to say "he could wake up at any moment." She looked at me and turned away. As she turned, I saw her baby kick its little foot though it tried so hard not to draw attention to itself.
After she scampered away with child in mouth, I carefully went to Scully and gently picked him up. He wasn't ready to go in yet but was so obedient, not understanding "why?"
I gave Mama Squirrel an hour to see that we were gone, though I never saw her cross the driveway.
I did see a familiar gray squirrel run along the top of the fence later on in the day and I've wondered if Mama Squirrel ever moved her babies to safety.
No worries, though because Our Fearless Hero, Scully spent quite a bit of time outside for most of the day.
He's fast asleep on his comfy bed now...resting his head on his pillow and dreaming of the squirrel that got away...

Rescued Dog Dancing with Joy
This dog, with over 200 others, was rescued from a puppy mill in Tennessee over 3 months ago. The video says she's dancing...I won't argue with that. Look at these beautiful dogs and know they were rescued. Most of them would have gone to pet stores, gone to someone's home and then ended up at the dog pound...please get your next pet from your local animal shelter. They start off like this...

A Very Scully Day
I have to say, Scully had a very good day.
A really, really good day.
He started off by sunning himself in the cool morning hours around 7a.m. Shared some eggs and a few bits of my sprouted grain bagel and decided to drag Mama outside in the sun again.
I didn't mind the beautiful morning though Dovi wanted nothing to do with it. He went inside and our Scully and I continued relaxing. The birds were singing and there was a slight breeze. It was so peaceful....
Scully's eyes became slits and he started nodding off into "doggie dreamland" when all of a sudden he jumped up, twisted his little body around and headed straight for a squirrel!
This dog can bark...loudly.
The terrified squirrel jumped on the fence and ran for his life...unfortunately he ran along the top of the fence...and down the driveway toward the street, our boy Scully in fast pursuit!
I headed him off half-way down the driveway- BARELY and he stopped short. Luckily, I unintentionally scared the squirrel back the way he came and Scully headed back after him.
Hairs standing straight up along his spine and all the ferocity he could muster, he did a job well done and we have been squirrel free all day.
Then he had a nap.
Later on this afternoon we had some bonding time and, as you can see by the photos, he got lucky and got a donut hole, which he promptly buried in the towel, dug it up and grabbed the whole thing in his mouth as if to say, " What? I don't have anything in my mouth..nothin'...I don't see anything in my mouth, do you?"
Check out the photo. LOL He's pretty nonchalant about the donut, careful not to draw attention to himself...Tricky Dog...
He had it in his mouth so long, he started to drool! He finally had to let it drop so he could swallow.
Acquiesing, he ate the donut.
Then we went for a ride and a good walk.
He is now fast asleep on his bed. Out like a light!!
Dovi is out on a walk right now so everybody got exercise today! LOL and I did NOT get donuts. I went for a bottle of water and everybody LOVES Scully...so Scully gets the treats! ^..^ '
