Good and brave n all that but i bet the pitbulls didnt even bite the kids just startled them,jack russels always have to fight bigger dogs,something to do with that short person syndrome i reckon.
i own an american bulldog and get little yapper dogs going nuts when i walk him,he just looks at them and i can see he`s just thinking, Yawn.
i suppose a dogs life is great tho,they dont know the consequences of what they do,which probably isnt a bad thing really.
i didnt even know dogs got bravery awards

We really don't know whether the children were attacked personally or not, dont see the point of making guesses which can't be backed up, but full respect to the Jack Russell for defending them anyway. It was a brave effort and I think it is unfair to try to beliitle his ultimate sacrifice.

Yup, they tend to think they are much bigger and stronger than they actually are. 
Good on some occasions (like this), other times bad; like winding up other, much bigger dogs. Rolly is part Jack Russell, and has taken to winding up the German Sheperd down the road; he'd last about 1 minute if there wasn't a fence keeping them apart

Why is it that owners of small winkle compensation dogs moan about yappy little dogs such as Jack Russells? Jack Russells are small dogs that see big dogs as a threat. They are behaving perfectly naturally.

Seeing he's 4/5 months old I'm training him NOT to have a go at other dogs. He's getting the idea, albeit slowly. I'm determined not to allow him to become an annoying yapper.
I tell your something; Dobermans at that age were much less of a PITA

Good on him! German Shepherds aren't really known for their sense of humour.

So people with big dogs have small ***** now ...rrriiiigggghhhttttt ....
I'm confused though .. I have the a small GSD .. so does that mean I have a big one for having a small dog or a small one for the breed normally being big ?
Added to my Scooby I'm starting to feel less and less of a man ..

I'd also be VERY suprised if the bigger dogs in that story were really Pitbulls.
A 'proper' Pitbull is not human-aggressive. It's an enormous part of the breed-standard. Neither are they the massive bulky beasts that the media, and most people, assosciate with the name 'Pitbull'. Proper Pitbulls are far lighter (27kg max) than the animal most people THINK OF when they hear the name.
They have an athletic build, rather than 'stocky' or 'muscle-bound' appearance that the media promote.
What happens is that Pitbulls are used as a 'base', for their unnerring loyalty, tenacity, and willingness to please their owner - then larger and more aggressive dogs (such as Mastiffs) are added into the mix, to breed a stronger, bulkier, more volatile animal, with a Pitbull's tenacious and loyal attitude.
Before the fighting community started mix-breeding them - before they got their (undeserved) bad reputation - Pitbulls were known as the 'Nanny-Dog', because they are so good with kids.
Remember 'The Little Rascals' TV series from the 60s?
Their dog was a Pitbull.
The dogs that attack - and get branded 'Pitbull' - are almost always some hybrid animal.

He's a Staffordshire/Labrador mix, and because of his size, and 'bully'-type head, people are sometimes wary of him.
But the worst he'd ever do to someone is give them a nasty licking.
