Amazing stories about dogs

Literature, legend and the media are filled with stories about dogs doing amazing things to save the lives of their owners. They will rush into raging rivers to rescue their drowning handlers, leap into fires to pull out a child, bring people back lost in snowstorms or in mountain crevices.
Some can sense the onset of dangerous symptoms and will let people know if they are about to have a seizure or a heart attack; many people's lives have been saved with this remarkable instinct. If there is someone to be rescued, found or helped, many dogs have an instinct that seems to go beyond their training to help, to find, to save. They will do this in impossible or improbable situations, even if it means the loss of their own life.

Thousands of such stories tell us of the wisdom, generosity and kindness of animals, as well as their ability to sense and know things we do not know and cannot understand how they know.
For thousands of generations human communities utilized the dog's powers as guardian and protector. Wise and attentive people came to regard them as animals with mystical powers, especially because of their ability to keep watch at all hours of the day and night. Bards and sages tell of dogs being the ones who understand the in-between spaces: twilight and crossroads and doorways between life and death. And so, in many ways this mystery continues with the extraordinary number and variety of modern-day stories of dogs as rescuers and protectors.
(Quoted from "Mystical Dogs. Animals as guides to our inner life", by Jean Houston.)

If you have an amazing story to tell about your dog, send me an email with the story. I will be glad to publish it on my website and blog.

According to the weather forecast it will be dry but cool this coming Sunday 08.12.2013.
My suggestion is to do the walk we intented to do last Sunday but couldn't do because of the rain.
So...
If Anne Duguid still wants to come I will meet her at 9.15 at the salida Benissa, Teulada, Calpe.
At the library in Jalón/Xaló I will wait from 9.45 till 10.00.
We will then meet on the parking space in Alcalalí (turn right just over the bridge, outside the village), on the Alcalalí-Parcent road, where we will start the dog walking class at 10.15. 
Looking forward to seeing you this coming Sunday.

Love
