Protect me George!

WALHT: In reading this article I have been learning close reading and inference skills to analyse text to learn more about the qualities of heroes.

In this article George was a hero. He was a Jack Russell dog who saved five children who were attacked by two Pit-Bulls. The dogs targeted the smallest child. George put himself at risk to protect the children. George was bitten so badly, he was taken to the vet. George could not recover so they put him to sleep.

George saved the five children from the pit bulls who were attacking them. He was a small dog and the other dogs are thickly built, and known for causing serious injuries and dogs attacks.

He believed in protecting the children and not thinking of himself.  These actions showed that he was brave and confident to take on these bigger dogs.

The act of protecting the children shows that George was courageous.

George was awarded three different medals because of the act of George’s bravery.
