Cape Fear's Preacher - Correct Temperament.

Pictured: Cape Fear's Preacher (RockyxSally), owned by Rachel Hattig of Senza Tempo Cane Corso in Austin, TX

So preacher saved my butt yesterday. We were on a rural hiking trail and we came up on a guy with a large fawn mastiff. The guy was already having a hard time controlling his dog so we quickly leashed up all of our dogs but Preacher. (I didn't bring a leash for him because he listens so well I don't ever need one.)

We walked past them with the guy struggling to keep his dog from getting lose and then we kept moving down the trail. After a couple minutes I hear something running up on us from behind, I turn around just in time to see that the mastiff had got lose from the owner and was barreling down the trail right for us. It was just me and my 12 year old daughter, so I had her stand behind me holding the puppies while I had Cashmere and Preacher at my side. I yelled at the dog to go home and stood in front of him blocking his access to the rest of the dogs. He did stop but he got low and was still creeping forward. He was now less than 5 feet away and he looked like he wanted to jump up at me like a cat does when it attacks. So as a last resort I stood tall and clapped my hands at him to back off trying to scare him off. Right at the point he jumped up and tried to bite my hands, however Preacher intercepted him before he could make contact. The dog didn't even see him coming and honestly neither did I. Preacher had him on his back in seconds and held him there snarling but not actually biting him. The dog didn't even try to fight him surprisingly enough. Finally the owner came running down the trail at that point and I was able to grab Preacher by the scruff and let the guy collect his dog. My hands were shaking like crazy and the guy just sat there and complimented me on my dogs and how well trained they were. It was so awkward because I am visibly trembling from the whole ordeal and this guy is trying to have a conversation about my dogs.

Anyway...I am constantly in awe of this dog. I feel like I owe him so much for all the times that he has stepped up for my defense. Sometimes it was not really needed, but he was there anyway. This time it really was serious and I can't imagine how bad it would have been without him there to keep me safe.

You simply cannot put a price on this kind of loyalty and dedication. Needless to say Preacher dined on steak last night.

A righteous one has kind regard for the life of his animal and understands his soul, But even the compassion of the wicked is cruel.
Proverbs 12:10

V. Glisson

John 14
1“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4You know the way to the place where I am going.”

5Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”

6Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”

Romans 10:9  
If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. 11As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.” 12Jew and Gentile are the same in this respect. They have the same Lord, who gives generously to all who call on him. 13For “Everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved.”
