2. When my mom had a heart attack, it took my brother & I both to get her Samoyed outside so paramedics could get in

Brother had to resort to using a heavy chain, wrapped around the smallish power pole to hold the dog back because he was so intent on protecting mom from the strangers while she was down. When the ambulance drove off to take mom to the hospital, that dog pulled the power pole to nearly a 45 degree angle trying to go after his beloved mommy.

When mom came to, first thing she asked was: Is Sam OK? Small hospital, only one floor & ICU rooms had windows. ICU nurse asked us to bring Sam to the window so mom would calm down.

Dogs love their families and some are pretty adamant about protecting them no matter what.
