Following on the theme that we need to be united, which is a mantra we stand by, that we disenfranchised, marginalised and abused South Africans need to look out for our own I give you this video. If a dog can look out for his buddy, why can't we? What have you done today to help your fellow South Africans who are being persecuted and oppressed by the current government?
A video making the rounds shows a dog in Chile performing a heroic act -- pulling a friend from oncoming traffic on a busy road. A traffic camera caught the rescuer bravely dodging cars to drag the injured dog to the side of the road.
Perhaps called by one of the motorists who hit the dog before it was pulled to safety, a rescue crew shows up at the end of the video.
We can't tell whether the poor pup survived the experience or not, but three woofs to the hero dog! He deserves a lifetime supply of treats.
UPDATE: After hundreds of thousands of people viewed the video of the hero dog last week, authorities understandably received a few calls about him, some from people wanting to adopt. And along with those in the comment section, we at Unleashed wondered about the fate of his injured friend.
Bad news, dear readers, if you haven't heard:
Highway crews removed both the dead and live dogs from the median strip of the Vespucio Norte Highway shortly after the Dec. 4 incident, and the rescuer dog ran away. Authorities say images of the rescue prompted some people to call and offer to adopt the dog, but neither highway workers nor a television crew could find the animal when they went to hunt for it.
Hero dog, we hardly knew ye.

Thanks Vanilla! Too True, and 4 Dec is my birthday!
"Hero Dog" thanks for showing us what selfless devotion to your kind, regardless of the risks, is all about.
Truly amazing. We could learn from our animal neighbours, in many respects far superior to humans.
I watched the video before reading the accompanying articale and i was going to leave the comment "woof,woof,woof" How weird is that?
