The power of love..... and a little adrenaline.

So today while walking Rocky, we were attacked by two labs. They ran at us full speed and immediately began to attack. I moved to block the dogs from killing Rocky, pulling him out of the middle of the fight. In my attempts to pull Rocky out his collar unsnapped.... he was now free and there was no way for me to pull him out of the way of danger. I watched, and yelled, as the two much larger dogs pushed Rocky out into the road. By this time the owner of the two dogs was there, and traffic on either side of the road had stopped. The owner was having no luck at all getting his dogs off Rocky, so in the midst of the moment I did something totally stupid... I reached my hands down into the pile of dogs and began to pull the dogs off of my dog. With both me and the other dogs owner we were able to get the dogs off Rocky enough for him to run away. There he went running like there was no tomorrow with out a collar. I chased after him and eventually he stopped, turned around and came toward me. We were out of harms way. I checked him over and found that he was not hurt though he did have dog slobber all over his right side. Both of us came out just fine, but on the way home I got thinking about what I had done and how stupid it was. I had reached my hand into the pile of dogs that obviously had no problem trying to bite what ever came in it's path. I grabbed that dog and pulled it away from my dog. Why? Because I loved my dog(and because there was so much adrenaline in my body that I didn't really realize it was super stupid). All I wanted was to protect my dog.... I guess I had never really felt something like this until today... I really would do anything to protect the ones I love. I think we all would.
