It's Not Easy Being Pals

If the name “Buddy” gives you the warm fuzzies, then you're going to like this story. In case you missed this morning's news cycle, a great hero dog story is being reported in the media today. “Buddy,” an obviously loyal German Sheppard and family friend, overcame his fears and led police to the scene of a house fire, tremendously shortening the time more police and fire fighters needed to find the blaze. You can see the video here. According to the officer who was intelligent enough to speak dog and follow up on it, Buddy appeared very agitated, spun, ran ahead and looked back repeatedly. He also disappeared once the officer was on the scene – proving that anyone can overcome their fears given the right motivation. Way to go, Buddy. Once again, I'm very proud to be the leader of my pack.
