Bailey, the Dog of the Day
Name: Bailey
Age: Two and a half years old
Gender: Male Breed: Golden Retriever
Home: Sonora, California, USA
 
   Bailey is the most amazing dog you will ever meet. My son Benjamin is five and is handicapped. I bought Bailey to be a companion for my son two years ago. Benjamin is blind and has crippled, so he gets around in a wheelchair. Bailey and Benjamin are inseparable and love one another to death.

    Recently, Benjamin was in an accident. He was on top of a short ramp with Bailey. Upon entry to a shop, Benjamin fell backwards and was rolling down the ramp at full throttle. His wheelchair was two metres away from a busy road, during peak hour, and Bailey ran as fast as he could to stop and save him. Bailey did just that, but was injured and lost his leg in the process, nearly losing his life. Benjamin was two inches from death but Bailey saved him, putting his own life on the line. Bailey is a true hero. This is his picture from last Christmas, and as precious as he was then, he is more precious to us now than ever.
