As the truck was hurtling straight towards the boy, Geo jumped in front of him and knocked him out of the way. As a result of his heroics the dog sustained severe injuries to his spinal cord, a broken leg, and numerous internal injuries, but his veterinarian says Geo will make a full recovery.
This dog has the eternal gratitude of a loving family who is so grateful that he was there that day. Carly Riley, the boys mother, says that "Geo must have sensed it (The truck) as he leapt on Charlie and took him out the way. It could have wiped us all out. If it wasn't for Geo I am 100 Percent sure it would've been Charlie"
As someone who is desperately missing her pups, who are miles away on the east coast with the parents, this story warms my heart. There is nothing more pure than the love of an animal. Asking so little in return, they love in what is truly an unconditional way. People could learn so much from them.
So the next time your dog covers you in slobber with their kisses, remember that she will always be there for you. No matter what happens, she loves you. Appreciate that feeling, because it's rare. And give her an extra milkbone from me ;)
