WHEREAS, Astro, a pit bull terrier mix, is being hailed as a |
|
|
hero after helping to save his owner's life during a medical |
|
|
emergency; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, On April 14, 2021, Astro began barking to alert a |
|
|
neighbor, who then followed the dog and found that his owner was in |
|
|
medical distress; the loyal dog stood vigil by his owner's side as |
|
|
members of the El Paso Fire Department arrived to assist the man, |
|
|
and he even attempted to join his owner as he was being loaded into |
|
|
an ambulance; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In honor of his role in rescuing his owner, Astro was |
|
|
recognized at a ceremony held by the El Paso Fire Department and El |
|
|
Paso Animal Services, where he received a medal and a special reward |
|
|
of cake and homemade treats; the faithful canine has been with his |
|
|
family for a year, after he was picked up from the streets as a stray |
|
|
puppy; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Astro's actions on that day truly exemplify the |
|
|
remarkable bond shared by pet owners and their animals, and he has |
|
|
captured the hearts of everyone who has heard his story; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commend Astro for heroically assisting his owner |
|
|
during a medical emergency and extend to Astro's family sincere |
|
|
best wishes for the future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Astro's family as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
