Chivalry isn't dead; a 9-year old Jujitsu student saved a 12-year old girl and her little dog from a vicious dog attack, by putting his martial arts training to use:
Drew Heredia said he and a friend were walking a small dog Dec. 30 when a pit bull jumped on the dog. The unidentified 12-year-old girl reportedly tried to save her dog, prompting the pit bull to turn on her.Heredia said he jumped on the pit bull and applied a choke hold that he learned while taking classes at a Brazilian jujitsu studio in southwest Bakersfield."
It was kind of a hear-pounding moment," Heredia said. "It was very scary."
He said he held the dog for 20 minutes until an animal control officer arrived.
“At first, I wanted to kick it, but then I thought it’s not a good idea, because it could get my leg,” Heredia said.
The girl was taken to Mercy Southwest Hospital where she was treated for puncture wounds.

I wonder if the absence of one precludes the potential for the other... and if there were to be an absence of one, from where would one generate the other.
