Hero is based on a Newfoundland dog, whom Maggie met in Virginia early one hot day. Wearing a purple scarf around his neck, and positioning himself between Maggie and the traffic, the dog walked her along the road in a dignified manner from time to time pulling on her skirt when he felt that she was too close to passing vehicles.
