A hero lies within...
Permalink Closed

Walkies at our usual park today took a wee hairy moment...my 2 run off lead at all times in this park as it is a very safe area they know like the back of their paws.

They both love running through the trees & river ....today, bounded up 2 bloomin enormous Ridgebacks - at least 40lbs each & they locked sights on Maisie & bombed after her. I happen to know these dogs & their owners - they are brother & sister owned 2 friends. They are fine if you meet them individually but a nightmare when together. They really made for Maiz - she bombed across the river & up a big embankment & round the trees to try & get away from them but they were hot on her heels & blatently ignoring their owners screaming at them!

Even though I knew these dogs wouldnt bite her if they caught her, 80lbs of dogs chasing you had her scared witless...then from the corner of my eye, i caught a glimpse of a black flash....

Murphy had stood by my side watching the whole thing & obviously thought enough is enough.

He hit full pelt & ran the 500 or so yards to catch up with the chase & screetched to a hault in front to the 2 Ridgebacks, sandwiching himself between them & Maisie. Honestly, I swear i could see him grow in stature before me - he stood rigid, eyeballing the biggest of the 2 pursuers & every time it moved to get past him, Murf blocked his way. No growling, just standing his ground.

i was so proud. The ridgeback owners leashed their dogs up & apologised profusely - they were truly mortified as they know Maisie & her backround...

Murf never left Maisies side for the rest of the walk & Maisie has been curled up next to him on the sofa ever since we got back

Her hero! (and mine :)

Murphy is definitely Maisie knight in shining Black armour. You just know when you meet these two fabulous hounds what they think of eachother, an absolute fantastic match.

You are soooooo lucky Suzanne

What a wonderful hero Murph makes! You must be so proud of him, Suzanne - that he won't tolerate his girl being bullied by other dogs. Give him a great big hug from me and Vegas!

Well done Murph, sometimes you just need a good reason to fight, eh? Blue, grudgingly, would like me to pass on his respect.
