George the hero!

WALHT I have been learning to continue to combine close reading and inference skills to analyse text to learn more about the qualities of the hero.

Once there was a dog named George, he was a Jack Russell terrier, who  died from injuries he received when attacked by two Pit Bulls.  George had accompanied some children to the local shops and the Pit Bulls went to attack them and our hero barked and distracted the dogs to protect the children from danger.

When George barked to get the attention of the dogs away from the children he was being brave and courageous. He did not think about himself.  As a friendly dog, he believed in protecting and caring about others.

George was fearless and confident that he could keep the children safe shown in his perseverance right to the end.

His owner received three medals for George’s actions and a statue still stands today as a symbol of his bravery.
