[blparent] [Bulk] Mom's Guide Dog Saves Her Baby From Being Hit by a Car

[Stephanie Mitchell]

wow, this is amazing. Gypsy does look out for the kids even though she's my dog. She always is more slower when I hold Tims hand. She will also look back if the girls aren't following as quickly as they should.
