'Angel' the Jack Russell, saves girl from abduction 10/26/07 Palmetto Bay,Florida Little dog with a big heart; Jack Russell terrier "Angel" attacked a man who tried to abduct a 9 year old girl. News Video liveleak.com Also.... Feisty Jack Russell dies after saving five children from marauding pit bulls blogs.usatoday.com This is an ode to a dog. Not just any dog, mind you. This is a real-life Lassie, a hero who died protecting his young masters from two much bigger and much more dangerous animals. This is, in the end, a sad story. New Zealand media report that George, a 9-year-old Jack Russell terrier, suffered fatal wounds while protecting five young children from two vicious pit bulls. Richard Rosewarne, 11, tells his local paper that the pit bulls came up behind them and were going for his 4-year-old brother, Darryl Wilson, when tiny George jumped between them. "These two pit bulls rushed up and were going for the little boy. George went for them, it's what he would do. He didn't stand a chance, but I reckon he saved that boy from being chewed up," owner Alan Gay, 69, tells the Taranaki Daily News. "These pitbulls should be banned. They're killers and it comes from them being bred for fighting." The dogs that killed George were covered in his blood when they returned home, and are now being kept in a local pound where they will be destroyed, the local paper reports. Their owner is said to face possible prosecution. Radio New Zealand says the local government plans to crack down on dangerous dogs. * * *
