Leo refuses to leave burning building, is found guarding litter amid smoke
SYDNEY - A dog was hailed as a hero on Sunday after it risked its life to save a litter of newborn kittens from a house fire, rescuers said.In a case which gives the lie to the saying about "fighting like cats and dogs," the terrier cross named Leo had to be revived with oxygen and heart massage after his ordeal. Fire broke out overnight at the house in Australia's southern city of Melbourne, where he was guarding the kittens.
Firefighters who revived Leo said he refused to leave the building and was found by them alongside the litter of kittens, despite thick smoke.
"Leo wouldn't leave the kittens and it nearly cost him his life," fire service Commander Ken Brown told reporters.
The four kittens also survived the fire and on Sunday Leo, whom firefighters nicknamed Smoky, was again back at the house.
awwwwwwwwwwww
I don't think my dog would leave the other animals either, she thinks the pig is her baby

Right now, even as they make the biggest profits in American
history, oil companies like ExxonMobil are getting $13 billion
in tax breaks.
But all that could change when Congress comes back to Washington
this week. Environmental champions like Speaker Pelosi are
working to strip these tax giveaways and make a major investment
in clean energy like wind and solar power.
Can you tell Congress to end tax breaks for big oil and invest
in clean energy?

Unfortunately, too many Republicans in Congress are paid for by
Big Oil and are opposing efforts to repeal these tax breaks -
even at a time of record oil profits. To create a new energy
future in this country, we need to send Congress a clear
message.
The petition says:
"With rising gas prices and America's growing dependence on oil,
it is clear that too many politicians in Washington are paid for
by Big Oil.
"We need to stop letting oil companies run our energy policy. To
make America truly energy independent, we call on Congress to
boost production of clean energy, end all tax breaks for oil
companies, and resist the false promise of drilling in
environmentally sensitive areas.
"We need an energy policy that isn't paid for by Big Oil."
After you sign, please forward this message on to your friends
and family.
There could be votes to repeal tax breaks for the oil industry
and instead invest in clean, renewable energy as soon as this
week.
If enough people join this petition, we can raise the profile of
this issue - and force Congress to decide whose side they're on.
With rising gas prices, increasing global warming pollution, and
America's growing dependence on oil, it is clear that too many
politicians in Washington are paid for by Big Oil.
Tell Congress to end tax breaks for Big Oil and invest in clean
energy instead.
