25 Heroic Dogs and How They Saved People
People have always seemed to have a soft spot for heroic dogs. Whether it's TV classics like Lassie or heart-warming family films like Homeward Bound, the idea of dogs rescuing their human masters (or even complete strangers) captures our love and affection as few other things do. So it's only natural to love hearing about dogs who save people in real life! Here are 25 true accounts of dogs who saved people from perilous circumstances.
1) Brutis
Brutis was a 7 year old golden retriever when he became a hero in 2004. That's when the loveable pooch snatched up a coral snake as it was slithering dangerously close to a young child, suffering a near-deadly bite from the snake in the process. His heroics did not go unnoticed however, as Brutis was promptly flown to Los Angeles to recieve the National Hero Dog award.
Said the committee who awarded the medal, "when we give an award like this, we're looking for something extra, something that would make people wonder why a dog would do what he did."
2) Zoey
Everyone knows that smaller dogs have to display in attitude what they lack in size, and Zoey is living proof. A five poundchihuahua from Colorado, Zoey made headlines in 2007 for rescuing a one year old child from an approaching three foot rattlesnake when the snake got too close for comfort. While Zoey sustained a small wound from a snakebite above her eye, she eventually recovered and the snake was killed by the dog's owner.

Akropoli
The name of a sight I want to go is the Akropolis in Athens. Because it talks about mythology and I like it. It is 156m. tall. It is nice because it has a lot of temples. The Parthenon, the statue of Athens e.t.c. It's a beautiful sight. There are a lot of tourists and Greek people from Kalamata, Patra, Messologi e.t.c.
I know that the first temple was built in (1100-750 B.C.) and the first sight is Propylaia , the temple of Athens Nike, the statue of Athens, which is 7 m tall e.t.c. It's fantastic. The statue and temple are also amazing. In the Akropolis sight there are a lot of trees.

I like it because it talks about mythology. The students and families can go there.

Advice Letter to a Lonely Student
Dear Chris,
I'm so sorry you feel lonely at your new school. I think your problem is frequent and there's no need to , worry. When I went to a new school I had the same problem, but I got over it!
You must talk with your classmates and make friendships. Sure some boys match with you. When someone else wants to talk to you for any reason listen to him.
Why don't you throw a party? If you invite your schoolmates to a party, you will get to know them better. I bet you'll make lots of friends then.
Good luck . Don't worry. I'm sure you will make friends.
Write again to tell me what happened.
All the best,
Nestor V.
