Let me cite today a Fox News story titled “Half-Breed Wolf Dog Hero Rescues Elderly Owners From Snowstorm”.
Here is the heroic tale of Shana, a half wolf dog/half German shepherd who saved an elderly couple from a treacherous snow storm. When Shana found Norman and Eve trapped by snow, she went to work, diligently digging out a tunnel through which she would pull the couple back to the safety of their home.
Please share with us through [email protected] some of your own dog stories of heroism. We will be glad to feature them here.

Pinoy Big Brother Season 7 housemate and Hashtags member Nikko Natividad joined me recently on “Matanglawin.”
We went on an adventure as we searched for giant snakes, acquiring knowledge about the reptiles and even encountering “dinosaurs” along the way.
I wonder if you saw the episode where we showed the mind-boggling ability of Lolo Tony who can mimic the sound of everything around him using everyday objects.
Before Lolo Tony, there was the versatile composer Levi Celerio, who could play music just blowing on leaves. Yes, leaves. We, miss Mang Levi, not just for his wonderful songs but also for his rare talent in producing music.
Watch and learn fascinating stuff about science and animals, among other wonderful trivia every Sunday, 10 a.m. on “Matanglawin” on ABS-CBN on free TV, ABS-CBN HD Ch. 166 on SKYCable, and www.iwantv.com.ph online.
