Rocky the Staffordshire Bull Terrier hero
Rocky the Staffordshire Bull Terrier is a real hero in the tradition of Jock of the Bushveld, the orignal Staffie hero. He's an adventure book hero, and one in real life too. He escaped from a dognapper, and has saved his owner from a snake. Last week Rocky was on a walk with his owner, Shaun Chapman, in Orange Grove. They saw a man assualting his girlfriend. Shaun called the local police office. When the police arrived, Rocky gripped the man's leg while a policeman handcuffed him! When he's not saving damsels in distress, Rocky visits schools with Shaun to make students aware of recycling and helping save the environment. Shaun writes novels featuring Rocky. The first one was Rocky in the Wilderness, which has sold 3000 copies already. The next book, Rocky and the San Bushmen, is at the printers, and another two books have been completed.
