You read stuff like this and it just amazes you.
Palm Beach Post reports:
A 7-year-old boy shielded his younger brother and another boy from a dog that escaped from a nearby business.
Homestead Police spokesman Fernando Morales says the dog ran to the yard where the boys were playing just before 7 p.m. Thursday and began attacking. The older boy pushed his 4-year-old brother and 4-year-old friend under a vehicle to protect them from the dog.
Then the dog began to maul the older boy.
The boy’s father heard the screams and hit the dog with a shovel until it ran away.
Police say the older boy was taken to the hospital with severe wounds to his head, shoulders and arms.
According to news reports, the boy is going to be OK.
I remember about two years ago a dog from a neighboring house got loose and came tearing into my backyard where my kids were playing. My then nine year old got everyone together and made sure they all got in the door before she followed. It’s a moment I think about often when she forgets to clean her room or does a poor job with her homework. I remember that she’s still the girl who made sure her little brothers and sisters got in the house before her.

@Anonymous When, as a priest, a man cannot sin. When a man sins, the man's consent to sin in his heart and mind, expells him from the priesthood and the Catholic Church even before any act of crime is commited. Justice is predicated on intent. Abortion to save the life of the mother intends to save both the life of the mother and the child. This is settled law. Roe V. Wade intends to murder the unborn. In heaven and on earth, where almighty God judges our hearts, the priest cannot commit crime. Only expelled, fallen men, WITHOUT GOD sin against our brothers and sisters. Discrimination against innocent and holy priests is rapaciousness that will express itself through the animals kept. This horror is an expression of its owner's intent. Dogs do not attack human beings unless their owners will it. The owner of the dog is liable for this injury. Why don't you pray for these miscreants or will you be happy when they go to hell?

I'll be happy when I go to hell. I'd hate to be in heaven with all the judgmental two-faced, hypocrites. Hell is so much more intriguing. It's where all the hollywood actors, rock stars and cool people go. Heaven is where all the uptight, no-life, small town, uneducated losers go. Have fun in heaven with all the losers!! LOL
