: “George, tiny but a brave dog that gave his life to save five children from two pit bull attacks!”
On April 29, 2007, George, described as a “plucky” 9-year-old Jack Russell terrier, helped to hold off two pit bulls from attacking five children in Manaia, New Zealand.
One of the children, Richard Rosewarne, 11, was quoted in the Taranaki Daily News on Wednesday as saying George fought with the pit bulls to keep them off his 4-year-old brother, Darryl. “It was an extraordinary act of heroism,” said the animal protection society’s chief executive, Robyn Kippenberger. “It says a huge amount for the animal-human bond that he actually went in to save them.”Kippenberger said her group’s award, normally given to humans for bravery in aiding animals, “has not been awarded to a dog since 1990.” The two previous canine recipients were trained police dogs.
