A little dog risked his life to save the family kittens..whilst the human components buggered off out of it. Once again the tiniest scrap of animal life puts we humans to shame..please read here and prepare to cry..I did and I can’t stop..

I would have to be dragged kicking and screaming before I would leave any of my animals or family. We have pillow cases next to each of my birds cages if the worst was to ever happen.
It doesnt bare thinking about, but I like to feel I would be prepared in that awful event.
Oh those tiny kittens, getting so much love from doggy, melts my heart. 8)
27 October, 2008 at 12:33 pm #385452Awwww Esme that,s so sweet. What a dear brave little doggy and shame on the humans who legged it.
Animals do the bravest things sometimes. Bless him. *sniff*27 October, 2008 at 12:40 pm #385453Wasn’t it just heartbreakingly beautiful? And I guess I shouldn’t be so hard on human folks..after all those wonderful firemen revived the little fellow with oxygen and heart massage..may their gods bless them.
I’m like you, Sharon, I would have to be physically knocked out and dragged from the building before I would leave my furbabies and my minnows.I have a tale to tell of my own little baby’s bravery:
A few years ago, I used to have a habit of sticking an incense stick in the cat’s litter tray (which we kept in the bathroom) after she had finished using it for the night..yeah stupid I know; anyway one night we were woken by the cat running up and down the hallway then jumping on our bed frantically pawing at us. When we went into the hall, the place was full of smoke..the incense stick had set light to the paper litter..melted the tray and set fire to the bathroom..we were choking in the thick black smoke.
Fortunately we had a wee fire extinguisher and hubs soon had the flames out but the smoke was horrendous..we all had to troop out into the garden and sit there until we could gather up the animals and go stay with friends. If it hadn’t been for my precious wee cat, we would undoubtedly have died from the smoke fumes alone.
Nowadays I restrict the incense to a sensible purpose-built holder. Besides which..my current puss would kick me in the fudd if I interfered with her litter..she’s got a wallop like a kangaroo on steroids. :P27 October, 2008 at 12:42 pm #385454Its so frightening how quickly smoke builds… and kills.
You had a lucky escape there Esme, bless your cat for alerting you all, and well done for having a fire extinguisher!
27 October, 2008 at 6:43 pm #385455Devils advocate and all that but the dog isnt strictly aware of it’s own mortality as we would be so i’m not gonna criticise the people in this case. I’d attempt to save the kittens but if it’s them or me or both of us if i try to rescue them then the kittens would perish i’m afraid, but give that dog the best food a posh dog basket and a medal.

Where do you buy one of those and didn’t it smell ? I know black is carbon dioxide and blue is foam but what colour is wee ?
