I thought the moderator said to drop this topic or do people just ignore

I'm sure there's dog got lots of praise. I've never been comfortable with
pushing a stroller, but whatever works. I'm, glad she had the dog with her,
she must be very thankful. Luckily her baby safe.

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.

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!
