China Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Well, I guess the apocolypse is coming; dogs helping cats?!! Hero dog risks life to save kittens from fire SYDNEY (Reuters) – 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. Fire fighters 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 Sunday Leo, who fire fighters nicknamed 'Smoky', was again back at the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koolblue13 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 That's a nice story. Thanks China. I don't know what's in the water down there, but Australian animals seem very helpful. I remember the dolphins last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have you know that years ago, my two cats woke me early one saturday morning. I couldn't figure out what would get them so wired up until I started smelling smoke. Turns out the apartment across the hall had a small kitchen fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sisko Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I hope that the dog knows that the cats won't return the favor. I hope the kittens know that in Leo's mind he was just guarding his dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
