That's just the sort of sensationalism the public loves and we don't need!

Was no one else asking themselves, what was this blind mother doing pushing
her stroller I had of her when crossing a street, does this not place the
baby in danger if she was totally blind? Sounds kind of funny to me, and I
get the gist of the story is the capabilities and/or intuition of the guy
dog, but I have more questions than answers at this point

for five years. While getting ready to cross the street pushing her son
Jacob's stroller, she heard the screech of a car coming in their direction.
And just before it hit, Jet broke loose from Jessica's grip and knocked the
stroller out of the way. It did fall over and the baby wound up with a cut
on his lip, but if it weren't for Jet's quick actions, something much worse
could have happened.

evident based on how she reacted when she realized he was in danger. Who
says a dog can't have mama bear instincts -- even if a human baby is the one
she's trying to protect? It's amazing how even though she's trained to
assist Jessica, she immediately switched gears and came to Jacob's rescue.

mind -- I know I would if my son had almost been hit by a car. And I don't
know how I'd ever be able to give that dog enough love and praise to thank
her for what she did -- though something tells me dogs do what they feel is
right without expecting anything much in return.

every time she hears her sweet baby boy's voice, she's once again reminded
of what a gem of a dog she has in her life!
