The Man and His Dog

     It was a gorgeous fall day in New York City.  The leaves were turning and falling off the tree.  Plus, the temperature and light winds were just right.  A man was walking his dog in central park with no particular destination in mind.  He had a stubborn dog who only liked to be walked sometimes.  However, today he wanted to go for a long walk to keep his master company.  As they walked, they passed many benches and trees where various types of people were sitting with their families, spouses, girlfriends or boyfriends, pets, or alone by themselves.  Suddenly, as the man and his dig were walking, the man began to feel a pain in his chest like a hammer hitting it.  He realized he was having a heart attack, and he begged his faithful companion for help.  The dog went up to a strange couple and was barking very nervously.  The couple initially told the dog to shut up, but then they realized that something was seriously wrong.  Dogs are masters at sensing danger, so the couple followed the dog.  They found the man struggling for his life, and they called 911. The man did survive of course and loves his dog more than ever.  This story is fiction, but dogs save lives all the time.  They even save other dogs as demonstrated on the news last week.  If you have a chance to rescue a dog do it.  Do not let them be destroyed just because their previous owner was an unfit owner. A dog could save your life.  They can even save your life emotionally, and not just physically.
