Lou, that's amazing! That dog probably saved your son's life. I'm still amazed at how they react to kids. My other dogs pretty much avoid my daughter, but my boxer wanted to be with her all the time from the day we brought her home from the hospital. He would sleep next to her crib, follow her around the house as soon as she was old enough to crawl and walk, and even now she "walks" him around the house half the day with his leash, and he just loves it.
