Jazz the 10 year old hero Golden
I received so much mail from people telling me that they love sweet stories with happy endings that I had to pass this web site on to all of you. It comes from my cousin Cyndi who runs Golden Retriever Rescue of South Florida.
People who rescue animals love to get updates from adopters, and this update about Jasmine the senior golden is really something.
Here is an excerpt:
One Saturday night at 3:00 AM I was sleeping in my second floor bedroom and Jazz was sleeping next to my bed. She started growling. I had never heard her growl but I did not wake totally up. I was asking her to quiet down and then before I knew it a man stepped into my sliding glass door (he had been pulling it up to unlock it) when she was growling. As he stepped in she went for his throat and I mean his jugular. She got him a few times, and I did not know until later he stabbed her a few times.
Click here to read the update in it's entirety. There is a happy ending for Jazz and her owner, but the intruder did not fair quite as well...
Do you think your dog would protect you from intruders in your home?
No, I don't think my dog would protect my home or me from intruders. He's fairly submissive with people. One never knows, though. I'd rather never need to find out.
Good dog, Jazz! Best wishes for a rapid and complete recovery.

My dog would alert me to danger and look menacing. As far as biting, I think if she was scared and trapped in a corner, yes. Taking the offense and attacking someone...doubtful, but you never know. Herding breeds were bred not only to herd, but also to protect the farm from intruders.
