Little Pete & My Best Friend Rex
Hi my name is Little Pete. I’m a Little Boston Terrier that lives on a Cattle Ranch. I’m unusual because I think I am big enough to be a stock dog. I love to chase cows and round them up. My best friend is Rex a blue heeler who lives with me. I owe my life to him because one day when we were down below the house playing in the creek I got into trouble. Out of no where a big coyote came up behind me and grab me by the neck and started taking me up the canyon. There I was growing and biting and fighting for my life. Rex being my best friend and very smart dog ran up to the house to let my family know that some thing was wrong. He was barking like crazy in a very aggressive tone. My mom and dad came out of the house in looked down at the creek to see what was going on. They saw me being carried off and going up the canyon in that coyote mouth. They came running after me. They thought I was not going to make it. My dad yelled at the coyote and scared it enough to drop me. They bundled me up in a blanket and I survived. If it wasn’t for Rex running up to the house to warn my family that something was wrong I would not be here to day. I owe my life to Rex my best friend. Here is a picture of us today.
