Someone give Corbin the Staffordshire Terrier his lifesaver badge. The brave dog more than earned it when he dived into an icy river to rescue his owner.
“If he wasn’t there to help me, I would have drowned,” says Corbin’s grateful owner, Philip Skirving, of Alexandria near Dumbarton in west Scotland.
The drama took place on what began as just another of their nightly walks along the banks of the River Leven. Skirving lost his footing and slipped – straight into freezing-cold, fast-flowing water.
‘I couldn’t breathe because it was so cold’
“I was about 5ft away from the bank but I just went into shock as soon as I hit the water,” Skirving told local newspaper the Lennox Herald. “I couldn’t breathe because it was so cold and I just couldn’t get myself back to the bank.”
Thankfully, Corbin realised immediately that something was wrong. He jumped in after his owner and clamped his jumper in his teeth, using it to help drag Skirving back towards the bank.
The pair made it out of the river safely and, soaking wet, headed home to get dry.
They’ll be avoiding any more adventures for a while, says Skirving, whose partner Zoe is expecting a baby in a few weeks. “I think I’ll just walk [Corbin] to the end of the street from now on.
Owners should always take extra care when walking their dog in the dark. Here are our top tips for staying safe.

So today, my man Geraldo Rivera, 77 WABC New York, is departing from his fellow Republicans, as he so often does, to promote the plan of President Obama to go ahead with his plan of immigration reform without the consent of congress.

Geraldo is on WABC every morning from 10-12--he is not afraid to go in a different direction from his other cohorts at Fox News.

Can't wait to see it this evening--he will go up against Bill O'Reilly on The Factor to argue the issue.

Can't help but view Bill O'Reilly as a racist--on many--occasions as he recounts his ideas for policy regarding people of the Religion of Islam and his take on poverty in the African-American community.

I invite Bill here to Wichita and merely witness the lack of grocery stores in the lower income area and hear his take on that--there is simply no access to food in walking distance.  Unbelievable!

San Diego--12 year old boys beat up for gang affiliation in the barrio......Bill, just wondering--what do you call that sich?

Can't start here on Bill O'Reilly and white privilege.......his lack of compassion for his fellow human beings is a completely other subject for deep introspection on a different day.

Geraldo is not afraid to stand up to O'Reilly.  He said the other members of the GOP are really not interested in moving forward on immigration reform.

Geraldo Rivera is not always behind our President but immigration is one of his pet projects and dear to his heart.  He said there are over 500,000 undocumented workers in the New York City area alone.

Geraldo told us the last time him and O'Reilly went off on this subject they almost came to blows--it was heated--and the closest he has ever come to a fight on the air.

These people are here and working hard and want a future just like the rest of us.

Here is a sample of the traditional older hard working Latinos in action in San Diego..........

Take a trip to Rancho Santa Fe and see who is doing all of the manual labor, building brick walls, gardening, etc.  The place could not survive without the Hispanic labor.

And as George Bush said....who is going to pick strawberries....my kids are not going to do that kind of work, are yours.......

The best story is the Mexican guys working on an extremely steep roof, no protection, huge drop off, on Thanksgiving day.  I said.....why are you guys working on Thanksgiving......and they said....my boss--he wants the money.

Geraldo also did a good job on his show recently when he called out San Diego congressman Duncan Hunter on saying 5 members of Isis had come through the Southern Border.  In fact, thanks to Geraldo, it was proven to be a lie without any substantiation of facts behind the statement.

The border in San Diego and the surrounding areas is extremely strong.  Try visiting the border crossing at Jamul....these people are not playing around.  Constantly going through cargo trucks, armed and with dogs, often waiting at the end of the dirt driveways during the night--these people are serious and defy anyone to say they are not.

Thanks, Geraldo and Noam, bringing up the opposite side of the issue, for telling us the facts, but mostly thank you for your compassion towards other human beings around the world.

General Wesley Clark: Seal Team 6 Should Not Be Cashing In......

According to General Wesley Clark, today on Geraldo Rivera WABC New York, the members of Seal Team 6 involved in the killing of Osama Bin Laden should not be cashing in on their military experience.

He was very adamant that these individuals speaking out about the activities involved in this very strategic and dangerous mission are giving away our secrets and putting our troops and our country in harms way.

General Clark stated to Geraldo Rivera there are also very many people involved in strategic commands in the Army and other areas of the military that do not talk after important events--he went on to say it was very wrong and he is totally against it.


General Wesley Clark said that Vladamir Putin has invaded the Ukraine and that he feels like he can change international borders at will.  He feels we should give assistance to the Ukraine but not sent troops.

He said this is a very important time in the world today because China, Russia, Iran are all marching toward achieving more strength internationally.

Geraldo Rivera did a good job of asking the former Presidential Candidate questions and getting all of the info without interrupting or becoming angry if he did disagree.

Well done, Geraldo and General Clark, for giving us information of what is gong on in the world today.

Another good show on WABC 77 New York:  Joan Hamburg on Saturdays......and this week she will feature an interview with Vanessa Redgrave.

Thank you for reading....from the ronnie republic radio round-up.
