[Nfbf-l] Guide Dog has thrown himself in front of a school bus to try to protect his owner

[Peter Donahue]

Good morning everyone,

     The dog was doing what it was trained to do. It may have looked 
like the dog threw himself in front of the bus when in reality the dog 
would have backed away from the moving vehicle pushing its owner out of 
harm's way. This is called a traffic check. The dog may have been 
injured if the bus was coming at the pear at a high rate of speed giving 
the dog little time to react.

     This story was on another list. While the dog did what it was 
trained to do the story reeks of dribble and unwanted sensationalism. 
Good dog, bad reporter!
