Welcome to The Platinum Board. We are a Nebraska Husker news source and fan community.
Sign Up Now!Very cool story!True Story: I was somewhat "raised" by the grandson of Bullet (Roy Roger's faithful German Shepherd) until I was two. Just like the kid in this video, Sergeant would watch me play in the front yard, and as long as I was on grass it was OK by my guardian. The MOMENT I got near concrete, he would pick my up by my britches and haul me either to the front porch or back into the middle of the yard where he deemed it to be safe for me to play.
Ever my protector, he made sure he got between me and my Mom whenever - as a little shithead - I got into trouble and needed a whoppin'. My Mom claimed she broke yardsticks over that dog trying to get to me, and he wouldn't budge. Never once threatened HER, but stayed between up. Finally, she'd had enough and told my Dad that either the dog goes or she would. According to my Dad, the dog lost the coin flip and off to the farm he went, where he lived out the remainder of his days.
