There is a young couple with two small children who own one of our dogs. 
They live in Canton, Ohio in a rough neighborhood.  The dog, "Trouble" 
has been shown some and has 7 points with both majors toward his 
Championship.  He is now almost 4 years old.  One night, about two years ago 
the husband was at work.  The wife heard a lady screaming outside her house 
in the middle of the street.  There were 3 men attacking the young woman and 
she was yelling, "they are beating me and raping me," then there was 2 gun 
shots heard.  Being afraid for her own safety as well as her two little 
girls, the young mother dialed 911 right away.  Then she went to the back 
door to let her dog in the house.  Before that could happen, her dog jumped 
their fence and ran to the aid of the woman, who was screaming in the street. 
 As soon as the attackers saw the dog, they fled.  The dog was still in the 
middle of the street licking the injured woman's face when the police 
arrived.  The next day in the newspaper it was printed that an unidentified 
hero frightened the assailants away.  The woman was in the hospital for 
several weeks.  When she got out she came to visit her hero so she could 
thank him in person.  If not for the St. Bernard undoubtedly the woman would 
have been dead.  That night "Slaton's Trouble A Bruin" was truly her Saint, 
and it makes our hearts proud here at Slaton's Saints to say that we are his 
breeders.
