A rare combination of a heart of gold and ice water in her veins. Wow.
Bless her soul! She’s a wonderful reminder that the greatest heroes are those without weapons of harm who keep their humanity alive even in times of danger. And that life-experience is the best training for life itself, more than any course can offer.
This story, in detail, should be disseminated everywhere, and taught in every course and training setting for service and to all law enforcers and social workers. Miss Tuff’s behavior is a beacon for every human being, and a reminder of what the best of humanity is, after all is said and done.
A hero worthy of the highest medal of honor.
Here’s a good video interview with Ms. Tuff – no transcript as far as I know.
