Good Stuff: Dog trains new Master.

A 25-year-old English tourist named Georgia Bradley was on vacation with her boyfriend in Greece recently.  And while he was at a café, she went for a walk on a secluded beach . . . and got harassed by two random Greek dudes

One of them even grabbed her by the arm when she wouldn’t have a drink with them.  But right then a stray DOG ran up and started BARKING at them.  It wasn’t very big, but it stood right next to Georgia and kept barking.  So the guys took off.

Then it stuck around . . . followed Georgia back to her place . . . and even chased after her CAR when she left for the airport.  So once Georgia got home, she realized she couldn’t let it end that way.

She booked a flight BACK to Greece . . . searched for the dog for FIVE WEEKS . . . finally spotted it on the same beach . . . adopted it . . . and named it Pepper.

She had to spend thousands of dollars to get her home, including flying back to Greece a third time and putting her in quarantine for three weeks.

And if somehow that’s not heartwarming ENOUGH for you, it also turned out Pepper was PREGNANT.  A week after they got to the U.K., she gave birth to six puppies.
