Happy Amazing Story!!! Sometimes animals can be much better than people. You don't see that poor stray dog abandoning her puppies.
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — A stray dog saved the life of a newborn baby after finding the abandoned infant in a forest and apparently carrying it across a busy road and through some barbed wire to her litter of puppies, witnesses said. more... [ 05-09-2005, 01:31 PM: Message edited by: pritchke ] |

My thought is that the dog thought of the little lump of meat as a nice meal for her own puppies, and dragged the baby all the way to her nest.
Rescue ? I don't think so, it was dinner, and they stole it from her.

As bad as it sounds... I think Johnny is on the mark with this one. Not saving the baby from the forest, more like saving the baby for dinner.

I hate "heartwarming" stories like this with the fire of a thousand suns. Fakey good news for the brain-dead anchors to read to brain-dead audiences.

If the dog was trying to rescue the baby, why did it drag the child straight through barbed wire instead of around it? [img]smile.gif[/img]

Who needs feel good news? OK, I was unneccesarily sarchastic, I apologise. But still, I wouldn't mind listening to news like this rather than the usual scare-mongering sutff the news reports keep droning on about. [ 05-11-2005, 11:37 AM: Message edited by: Sigmar ] |

No, that's a valid response, I think. I was in a horrid mood when I wrote that, and thought of, "...and he made his third infant victim's skin into a vest. ::idiotic grin:: On the lighter side today, we have a heartwarming tale of a dog saving a baby's life. Here's a picture of the baby behind me, looking adorable. We'll now talk about how precious that one life is, ignoring all the other death in the world for a moment." I hate news anchors. Can'cha tell?
