Willie......Boy, do I love that post......and that dog.....
Smart and good parents to pay attention to the dog's reaction. I have read too many stories about abusive babysitters......I recommend a secret camera or recorder for all parents using a babysitter.

Golden Retriever Saves Woman from Choking

45-year-old Debbie from Maryland was sitting in her home one evening, snacking on an apple and watching TV while her faithful Golden Retriever Toby was sitting next to her and keeping her company. Suddenly, a piece of apple got stuck in Debbie's windpipe and she started panicking and choking, falling to the floor. Out of nowhere, Toby did something truly amazing - he started pouncing on her, thus performing some kind of doggie Heimlich technique. It actually worked and Debbie survived what would surely prove to be a fatal situation.

That is amazing! Pretty smart dog if you ask me. I hate it when some people call them just dumb animals. HA! They are a lot smarter than many people I know, including me.

Bob Dylan has won the Nobel prize in Literature for 2016, first musician to win the prize in history.
Good for the guys who make the picks.

Go Bob! He is SO deserving - no, not the greatest voice ever, but some of the greatest songs, many of which he gave to other artists to record. I'm a HUGE Beatles fan, and even they looked up to Dylan. Absolutely deserved!!!!

Golden Retriever Saves Boy from Cougar
That day started as usual for a 11-year-old boy from Canada. He went to his backyard with his best friend, Golden Retriever named Angel to get some firewood. While collecting firewood, he noticed something that wasn't as usual - Angel was acting weirdly, sniffing the air and letting out low growls. Before he managed to turn around, he was pounced by a cougar. While cougar was still in mid-flight, Angel ran in front of the boy, absorbing the hit and then started the desperate fight to defend his 11 years old buddy. Luckily, there was a police constable nearby who shot the cougar few minutes into the fight and saved little boy and his dog. Aftermath of that conflict for two friends was pretty amazing, considering what they had gone through. The boy was unharmed while Angel had several pretty deep injuries and bite marks. Veterinarian who took care of him said that it was perfect timing for policeman to show up, because otherwise cougar would make quick work of Angel.
