Recently, my wife and I had one of the most excruciating experiences of our lives: the euthanasia of our beloved dog, Murphy. I remember looking at Murphy for a few moments before taking her last breath - she gave me a look that was an endearing mix of confusion and the assurance that everyone was fine because we were both at her side.

Ping Pong, a 6-year-old disabled dog, was hailed as a hero for rescuing a buried boy living in a field by his teenage mother. This incident occurred Wednesday morning (May 15) in a village in northeastern Thailand.

According to The Guardian, the dog, which has only three legs that run after being hit by a car, was seen sniffing and digging near a field in Ban Nong Kham village, Cham Phuang District, in Bangkok. The dog also started barking and this caught the attention of nearby farmers.

Thanks to the Ping Pong searches that exposed the infant's legs, the peasants noticed the tiny legs protruding from the ground and immediately drove the newborn to the hospital.

At that time, in July 1993, I loved surfing, playing basketball and I thought I would be a stockbroker, but in October, I was hit by a train and got up blind in the hospital.
All of a sudden, there was no more surfing, basketball or reading complicated graphics for stock trading.

A few months later, I represented Queensland as an elite handicapped athlete and represented Australia at two Paralympic Games, two Commonwealth Games, and three World Titles.
I studied law, obtained a master's degree and a doctorate in law, obtained my lawyer's license, practiced and now, I teach law at the University of Queensland.

At the time of my 14 years, I'm sure I would have been happy to see where my career was at the age of 40, but I will not have a guide dog is expected to play a role in this regard.
