Does anyone on AAPN have the original article from the Hong Kong

Heyuan?

'Crying dog' saves master's life

From correspondents in Hong Kong

26Nov03

A DOCTOR'S pet dog saved the life of his collapsed master in China by

turning up on a neighbour's doorstep with tears in his eyes, a news

report said today.

 

Village doctor Liu Jianyao collapsed with a burst artery as he

returned from a house call in the early hours of the morning, the

Hong Kong edition of the China Daily reported.

 

His dog, which always follows the doctor on his house calls, ran to a

neighbour's house and pawed at the door and barked until someone came

to the door.

 

The neighbour said the dog had tears in his eyes when he opened the

door. It then led him to where his master was lying, the newspaper

said.

 

Rescuers say Liu, from Heyuan in southern China's Guangdong province,

would have died if the dog had not managed to get help to him in time.

 

This report appears on NEWS.com.au.

Something to think about: We believe that the Golden Rule

applies to animals, too. We don't accept the prevailing notion

that " people come first' " or that " people are more important than

animals. " Animals feel pain and suffer just as we do, and it is

almost always humans making animals suffer and not the other way

around. Yet in spite of how cruelly people behave towards animals

-- not to mention human cruelty to other humans -- we are supposed to

believe that humans are superior to other animals. If people want

to fancy themselves as being of greater moral worth than the other

creatures on this earth, we should begin behaving better than they

do, and not worse. Let's start treating everyone as we would like

to be treated ourselves.
