Real-life Heroes.
Standing ovation to the real-life superheroes. Yayy!!
Watched Oprah Winfrey show today. Today it was about Real-Life Superheroes. One of the stories was about this stranger who saved a boy from a pit bull attack. Stupid dogs. They are really violent and vicious. They killed a neighbourhood dog before. I read something from the net about this story and someone was really mad that he/she said The dogs are still breathing because...? Anyway, here's how the story goes.
Kathleen was on her way to work when she saw 7-year-old Joshua being chased by two pit bulls. Without thinking twice, Kathleen jumped out of her car and ran towards Joshua to help him. Kathleen tried to scare the dogs off, but they would not stop attacking Joshua. Kathleen threw herself over the bleeding and screaming little boy using her body as a shield. "This was a child, a little tiny boy screaming for help," Kathleen says. "I didn't have a choice in the matter. I just did what was needed."
When the paramedics arrived, Kathleen's left eyebrow had been detached from the skull and she had multiple teeth marks on her arms and on her back. Joshua's ear was almost completely torn off. He also had bite wounds by his scalp, on his hand and on his arm.
So they were invited to the Oprah show. Joshua came in later with a bouquet of flowers for Kathleen. "Thank you for saving my life," Joshua says to Kathleen. He had tears in his eyes! He was crying and sobbing softly. He's SO cute!! Everyone in the studio cried. I did too. Damn if it wasn't the most touching thing I've ever saw.
Kathleen says now she carries a small baseball bat in her car so the next time someone needs help, she'll be better prepared.
That's him! Cute right!! Kathleen you rock!!
Ta gra agam ort, James.
