Humanitarian award recipient Tammie Michels, 38, a world sales shipping agent in Portland, said her maternal instinct took over when she helped stop a dog attack.
"I heard a scream that I knew was a life-or-death situation," she said.
A bull mastiff/Great Dane mix had savagely bitten a woman on the shoulder and was about to bite her head. After Michels smacked the dog with a rock, it momentarily turned on Michels and other bystanders before they subdued it.
"I was proud to be able to help her, and at the same time, incredibly lucky and fortunate to walk away," Michels said. "FedEx is often a first responder to fires, floods and other situations. I think a lot of FedEx employees have that spirit. If somebody's in need, we want to be there."
