As parents it's a primal instinct to fight like hell, to do anything we can to protect our kids. But you'd have to wonder how you'd react in an extreme case like this. 15-year-old Andrew Lindop was out for an early morning surf with his dad, Charles. Literally out of the blue, a 2.5 metre great white attacked young Andrew, tearing his leg apart. It must have been truly terrifying. And god knows what would've happened if Charles hadn't been there. He put himself between Andrew and the shark, and coaxed his boy to safety. As you'll see it's an amazing tale of courage, devotion and a father's fierce protective love.
