Unwanted dog turns hero

One of our neighbors had many animals and neglected her dogs most. She told me that I could have one of her female Austrailian Sheperds, papers and all, for free. I decided to take her up on that offer. I took her home, nursed her back to health, and got her fixed. Around the same time that I took her home I bought a mustang horse from the BLM. He was not tamed at all and was skittish often. About two weeks after I got Puppy, the dog, something remarkable happened. I was scrubbing out the horse's water bucket when he suddenly charged at me for no reason. I always took Puppy with me to feed the horses, so luckly she was there that day. When she saw the mustang come after me she put herself in between me and the horse. She barked and bit at the horse. It aggravated him so he turned around and kicked at her. He ended up striking her in the mouth. Suprisingly she suffered no injuries. If it weren't for her, I am not sure what might have happened to me. For that I am very greatful, but sadly I had to find her another home. I regret letting her go because I feel that she saved my life. Hopefully her new owners are treating her with as much love and respect as possible.
