Rescue Dog Rescues Couple from a Home Invasion<\/span><\/p>\n

This just happened very recently and I found this item at Yahoo and all over the Internet news sources. \u00a0It is such a warm and loving story, a perfect way to end my day with you.<\/p>\n

Hercules<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Hercules was found wandering around, all alone and near starvation, underweight by 75% of the weight he should have been. \u00a0He needed\u00a0veterinary\u00a0intervention. \u00a0He was a very sick St. Bernard.<\/p>\n

Lee and Elizabeth Littler took pity on the poor dog and took him home from the rescue shelter, but\u00a0had no intention of keeping him. They only planned to help him get back to health and then find a permanent home. \u00a0They already had four other dogs.<\/p>\n

\n

Hercules\u00a0became a hero when he rescued them from a home invasion. \u00a0They only had him for six or seven hours. \u00a0Hercules was in a new home with people he didn’t even know. \u00a0Still sick, he began to growl very low and then pulled out from the Lee’s hand who was holding him on a leash and crashed through their \u00a0screen door running after a would-be burglar. \u00a0Hercules jumped over a huge obstacle to continue the pursuit, a open pit staircase that lead to the lower level of the house. \u00a0Then without missing a heartbeat, he continued the pursuit to the edge of the property, and finally bit the offender in the ankle as the burglar tried climbing over a fence.<\/p>\n

Good boy, Hercules!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The intruder was truly up to no good. \u00a0He had already cut the telephone lines.<\/p>\n

Hercules, was just acting on the pure instinct of St. Bernards.<\/p>\n

One thing is for sure, this rescue dog has now found a permanent home.<\/p>\n

The burgler still has not been found by police.<\/p>\n

Watch the video of Hercules, the Hero Dog!<\/strong><\/p>\n

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America!
