A Round of A-Paws
This Amazing Pup Saves the Day — Twice!
Heroes don’t always wear capes or stand on two legs — and in a specific case with a German shepherd, this is exceptionally true! A dog noticed that one of his favorite tiny humans was in some serious danger, so he saved the day, two times! A little boy and girl enjoyed the day, tossing a ball back and forth in their backyard. When the girl overthrew the ball, it unfortunately fell into a small pond behind the boy. The girl rushed inside the house to get help, but the boy stayed outside and even ended up leaning over the edge of the pond as he tried to retrieve the ball on his own. This is when a protective German shepherd, lying nearby in the grass, saw everything and immediately sprung into action.
The dog first looked into the pond to locate the ball. Then, knowing the boy was in danger as he teetered on the edge, the dog tugged on the little boy’s vest with his teeth, pulling him backward to safety near the back patio of the home. Once the little boy was in a safe location, the dog located a pole net that had been leaning against the house and brought it over to the pond. While his tail wagged with pride, the dog fished the ball out of the pond. The dog then put the net down on the ground near the pond and brought the ball over to the boy, who petted him with appreciation. This German shepherd saved the day for this little boy and girl — and also saved the boy from injury and needing a dry set of clothes! What an
amazing canine. He deserves a treat and a round of a-paws!
KNOW THE 3 MAJOR OFFENSES What Offenses Lead to Driver Disqualification?
If you get pulled over and receive your first serious offense , a traffic court judge will fine you, and the DMV will assess how many points you receive. However, getting your second conviction within three years of your first offense will be counted as a disqualifying offense. You will receive a 60-day driver’s disqualification. A third offense will result in a one-year driver’s disqualification.
For example, if a driver’s cell phone is resting on top of their shipping documents and they pick it up to get something else, some CHP and law enforcement officers could issue you a ticket for illegal phone use. Some believe that simply holding your device is subject to violation. After all, the code says “ ... while holding and operating …” 3 — UNSAFE LANE CHANGE An unsafe lane change is when a driver changes lanes before it is safe to do so or hasn’t signaled for a continuous 100 feet to warn other drivers. But sometimes, drivers have to make quick decisions and sudden lane changes if other drivers around them are driving recklessly. You probably have had to do this while driving. Not all lane changes are unsafe, even when they do not meet the objective of the law laid out in CVC. If you have traffic citations for any of these offenses, allow Bigger & Harman to assist you.

Three serious offenses will lead to a driver disqualification.
1 — FOLLOWING TOO CLOSELY This is one of the most frequent CMV serious offenses that will lead to disqualification. Unfortunately, most of these offenses are out of the truck driver’s control. If a car pulls out in front of a big truck and brakes, the truck driver may not have enough time to slow down — leading them to follow too closely. A law enforcement officer may not have a good view of the road and could issue the truck driver a ticket even if another vehicle pulled out in front of the big truck. 2 — ILLEGAL PHONE USE The CA Vehicle Code (CVC) states, “A person shall not drive a motor vehicle while holding and operating a handheld wireless telephone.” But this offense might be subjective depending on the viewpoint.
