Hero dog risks life to save kittens from fire

Recommended Posts

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 :P

Feel good tearjerker. And your dog would be a hero too, thats for sure. But Ditto and his 3 legs would be the first to flee far away. LOL. Heartwarming story, sometimes animals make better humans than most of the riff raff. Thanks for posting.
