I went over to my aunt's house quite a lot and I liked to play outside. She owned a farm, so it could be rather dangerous. There were no worries though--Jack followed me around the entire time I was outside and would not allow me to leave sight of my Aunt's back door. He'd stand in front of me and actually herd me back to where I belonged. When I was a little girl, about 5, my great aunt had a German Shepard named Jack.

It also told a touching story of a little boy who has diabetes and suffers severe seizures when his blood sugar level was low. The seizures happened frequently and the boy said trying to sleep was a nightmare for him, until he got a dog who can smell when his blood sugar level is dropping and alert the parents so they can give him his insulin and prevent the seizures. The dog is with the boy every minute of the day and has so greatly improved the boys quality of life. It brought a tear to my eye. much like that episode of Futurama.

Our always gentle doberman began growling at the car and would begin barking at us whenever we tried to get down. When my dad came out to see what the problem was the dog attacked the copperhead that was about to bite my dad. the snake bit her on the lip and although she lost a piece of her lip she survived. even though it seemed like she was being mean to us she was really protecting us.
