2 year ago today our family adopted a cocker spaniel from the NYC pound. He was very ill and extremely unfriendly. The volunteers there tried to convince me to take a different dog. However the minute i brought him home, he made a special bond with my young boys (2 and 4 at the time). 2 years later though, after behavioral trainers, dietary specialists and countless surgeries, I have the most amazing dog. He is an amazing member of our family.
Just last month, my boys were with their father at our summer home. I had to remain in the city to do work. The boys were playing by the water and accidentally one stepped on a rattlesnake. Our cocker spaniel got between the boys and the snake, biting the snake repeatedly and eventually killing it. In the process receiving numerous snake bites. My husband rushed him to emergency and thank god he was saved.
Next week the city will recognize our dog for his bravery and courage in saving my boys. I truly believe this dog was a gift from God, and I am so glad he came into our life.
