Man's Best Friend

Here's a great story I read in the paper the other day and forgot all about it until I just saw it on The Ellen Show again today.

Steve Hoffman, a sheriff's deputy in Indiana, had just finished a traffic stop one night when he noticed a strange light coming from a cornfield. He walked towards the flickering light and saw two dogs. One was holding a flashlight in its mouth and the other was lying on top of an unconcious man to keep him warm!

Deputy Hoffman performed CPR on Bill Burns who was diabetic and had passed out in the cornfield while walking his dogs. The two dogs, Butch and Dusty are credited with saving their owner's life. Mr. Burns said that his dogs were not trained and had never picked up a flashlight before that night.

They were just being man's best friend!

Animals can do amazing things if they have to.
