Man Saves His Dog From A Shark

Owner hits shark to save his rat terrier

The Associated Press - Fla. | A dog is re

covering after a Florida Keys carpenter dove in to save his pet from a shark.

Greg LeNoir said he took his 14-pound rat terrier Jake for a daily swim at a marina Friday. The 5-foot-long shark suddenly surfaced and grabbed nearly the entire dog in its mouth.

LeNoir said he yelled and dove into the water. He hit the shark in the back and the creature finally let go of the dog.

The dog suffered bite wounds but was not critically injured.

Chester:

Tell you what. That is one gutsy son of a gun.  We need to get word to Islamorada to make sure our dogs get some big, juicy steaks over to these two.

This story makes me feel useless. I have been beating the streets and fields around here looking for were signs and leads about Rex's killers.  Also, been keeping tabs on Jack, and Sherry, which has been easier.  They have been staying close more lately, due to a recent "issue" with one of the boys.  More on that later.  Maybe.  But, Jack is worried and Sherry is scared. 

Did some training over the weekend with Jason and Jessica.  They now have over thirty people in their band.  All are new.  The old schoolers, those not willing to "take it to the next level," are all gone. Those who remain are ready to do what must be done.  

I had them running patrols and IADs, setting up perimeters and raids all night long. No live firing. But, half of them are former military.  Jason recruits heavily amongst Iraq vets.  He and I have disagreements on some issues, such as police.  I will not fire on police.  They are the good guys, for the most part.  Many police are weredogs.  But, Jason says anyone that gets in our way . . . well, gets in our way, and has to be dealt with.  I will make him come around to right thinking.

Most of these kids carry AKs, or some sort of AK knock-off, like a Valmet. Some carry 16s, or a variant. One, a thin, nervous kid named Rad (shot for "Radical," he claims; I lifted his wallet, and his ID says "Radley.") carries an M-4. Full-auto. He won't say how or where he got it. He let me look it over. We got into an argument when I said, "This is just a CAR-15 covered in junk."  He objected quite strongly. 

A new family moved into the neighborhood.  They have a gorgeous irish setter named Nola. I have made a few late-night visits to Nola. She is incredible.  Got to keep my head. And if I could beat a shark, or a werewolf, I might feel a lot better.
