Save of the year!

It's true, you know. Dogs really are a man's best friend.

Latest evidence can be found here, in which Fido goes all kick-save-and-a-beauty to rescue some poor human from extreme mortification. It's the sort of thing Lassie would have done had America known what soccer was back when that heroic pooch was melting hearts on TV. Presumably, it would have happened somewhere between Lassie saving the little girl who fell down the well and dragging an unconscious Timmy from the burning house.

After which Timmy, regaining consciousness, would have said: "You're the best, girl!"

And then:

"Except you know that save you made? It cost my team a goal."
