On a Monday morning in June, Figo (age 8) and Audrey (age 62) were out for their daily walk in Brewster, New York when something crazy happened. They’d just stepped out into the street to cross when a small school bus carrying a driver and two kindergarten students approached. The bus wasn’t moving very fast at all but it also wasn’t stopping.
The driver of the bus didn’t see them. But, Figo saw the bus coming and knew he had to do his job of protecting his vision impaired human. Figo actually leaped into action, moving from Audrey’s right side to her left to take the full impact of the bus. He literally threw himself into the path of the bus to shield his blind owner.
