A Man and His Dog

Many of you have already heard about the police officer and a dog that were shot in the line of duty in my home town. I know that I mentioned they were both going to be fine, but that the dog Bosco might not be able to walk again. Miracle after miracle and Bosco is walking again.

At first it was thought he wasn't going to live, and then he did. Then it was thought he wasn't going to walk again, and he did that too. He was even supposed to be on the Oprah Show this week. But they cancelled on them at the last minute....I'm guessing because Sarah Palin actually agreed to be on the show. Great. I would have rather seen Bosco and his partner Officer Schiele.

Here is a picture of the two:

I think Bosco's going to retire. At least, I would, if I were him. It was great seeing so many people pull together in my home town. They were raising money for Bosco's surgeries. Bosco was donated to the force by a family who had lost a son in Iraq. It was his wish that his family give back to the community if anything were to happen to him. The K9 unit in Z-ville receives all of its funds through the community, meaning they have to have a ton of fund-raisers. So, it was wonderful to see so many people giving what they could to help out Bosco and Officer Schiele.

How about that for a feel good story?

I leave you humming "You Can't Keep a Good Dog Down."
