It's been a long while since I posted a hero of the month, but I've been watching the news lately and with cyclones, earth quakes and general, every day violent crime, I thought it was too long since my last hero.
I decided to pick someone that has been stabbed, shot at and been generally overlooked in the public eye. After all what can a dog do, right?
Well, it seems a lot. Especially if you’re a police dog named Anya. Without her bravery, her dog handler, officer Neil Sampson, might very well be dead. Sampson tried to fight off a frenzied attack from a knife-welding assailant. With four knife wounds to his legs and long cuts to his face and head, he would have been a lot worse if Anay hadn’t fought off his assailant despite being stabbed in the chest herself.
Anay and Neil Sampson have made a full recovery.
"Anya's a very motivated, fast dog,” says Sampson. “She's like a jack-in-the-box on Red Bull. "She's full on, but, my God, I'm happy she's mine.''
Thank you Anya and all the dog handlers out there who train these remarkable dogs.

Thank you for posting this one. We often forget about the heroism of dogs whether they work with the police departments or search and recue.
