Good Dog, Blue!

I had a dog and his name was Blue …

Three-year-old Victoria Bensch of Cordes Lakes, Arizona, has a dog named Blue, and she’s mighty glad she does. She also has another dog named Rusty that she thought was lost, so she went out to find him last Thursday.

I had a dog and his name was Blue.

She didn’t know that Rusty was still in the house. Victoria disappeared wearing nothing but a tee shirt, pants and shoes, and spent the night in 30-degree temperature when she got lost about three-fourths of a mile from her home.

Blue – a Queensland Heeler – followed her into the woods and when the temperature dropped below freezing, kept Victoria warm by cuddling up with her. All she suffered were a bit of frostbite and swollen feet. Blue is credited with saving her life.

Betcha five dollars he’s a good dog too!

Good dog, Blue! Good dog!
