A Hero

I know that lately my journal postings have been down and such but this one is more of a reflecting question ^^u
This happened on the week before my birthday, and I work at a super market, and it was around evening when there was a bit of commotion outside. I turn from sacking and saw that another sacker was outside with a dog on a leash. Long story short, while he was out bringing in carts, a man came up to him with the said dog and just handed him the dog and left. In short the man just abandon the dog right there. There were some worry with the workers and some costumers because they knew if they turn in the dog, the dog would not have much long to live if no one would claim or adopt him. So I figure I take him until my family either decides to keep him or find him a home ourselves. And so far he is still living at my home. What I find strange is that Harley, named because of the Harley Davidson collar, is a very well trained dog, about the age of a puppy wise.

Now I told that story to get to the point of this post, even since then a lady that was there that night comes to the stores for her own reason and whenever she sees me, she says 'Heaven has a place for you' or 'You're a true hero.' that kind of thing. It feels weird for me to hear that because I am not use to those kind of acknowledgement, read A Mortal, A Angel and A Demon's Tome to see what I mean.
Guess I am asking is how does one that doesn't think of himself as a hero should react to those kind of acknowledgment?

You saved a dog from a really bad existence or being in a pound. My dog, she was only a few weeks old when the puppies were saved from a somewhat abusive home. She wasn't well but after we took her, now she's a 5 year old tank that is my best friend on four legs.
