He needs a dog–”om” just doesn’t cut it when it is time to go out

Op-Ed Columnist: The Outsourced Brain
By DAVID BROOKS
I realized the magic of the information age is that it allows us to know less. It provides us with external cognitive
servants.

Ammann vom Adlerbach Memorial

Ammann vom Adlerbach, known to his family as Manny, died a hero.

He lost his life  protecting his family and beloved children from a male intruder who broke into his family’s home during the night.  Manny did a lot of damage to the criminal
before he shot and killed Manny.  Manny’s heroic defense gave enough time for the police to arrive.  No harm was done to Manny’s family.



Like his father, Narro von der Kine SchH3, he loved children the best.  His first family had some
problems and could not keep him so he came back and stayed with a friend until he found the exact right second family for him. This is the family he gave his life for.

Ammann is the full brother of my Ajax.  A friend made a video of Ajax’s son, Chip, getting his schutzhund 3 and I chose the music from the movie Robin Hood  ”Anything I do—-I do
it for you” as the background.  Lines say “I’ll fight for you, walk the wilds for you, I’ll die for you” and Chip’s Uncle Ammann did just that. 

Ammann was 7.  

I am so sad he is gone but so glad he lived up to the ultimate job of the noble German Shepherd. 

May he rest in peace with his father, Barb
