What did he do that was heroic?

Sounds like he was in the right place at the right time to save a man and his two dogs. More like divine intervention

Agree.

Pressing the SOS button on your SPOT transmitter and waiting an hour isn't heroic; it's just what you do.

I hate that we overuse, and thus, diminish this word.

Yeah. I hate the overuse, misuse, and subsequent diminution of many words.

Mabe not a 'hero' cyclist to those of us here because we weren't laying out there for dead.

As long as the 'hero' is hero to one person, that would be enough.

My opinion aside, I'm pretty confident I wouldn't tell the older fella that was saved that the guy that pushed the button isn't a hero.

Just a different perspective is all...

Some of the recent heart attack victims may have liked a person to come by and call for help. We'll never know if they were wishing for that though....
