I appreciate the kind words, but I don't think what I do when I see a dog in danger should be called heroic. It may be rare, and difficult. It may turn my whole day, or maybe my week into a difficult series of conflicts or struggles. But it doesn't rise to the level of being heroic.
Here's why- I only do what any decent person should do. It should not be an unusual or surprising activity because we all should have an active roll in preserving the life of a suffering animal. If I see a dog, I stand up and speak for it and use my superior knowledge of this human created "civilized' world to protect it. And I believe that any of you, presented with the exact call to action, would have done the same.
But there is something bigger than me at work here. I do believe that. The universe guides me to these dogs for some reason I will probably never understand. It involves the incalculable and un-quantifiable power of this energy force we call love. It's a power source greater than the sum of it's parts. So dig it! We all have it in us to be the hero, if that's what you want to call it!
