In Melbourne, Australia there lives a very brave terrier mix named Leo who risked his life to save a litter of kittens from a house fire. All hail Leo and give him a round of applause.
Whatever myths might exist about enmity between cats and dogs will never hold up again as the world learns about this incredible dog. Leo had to be revived with oxygen and heart massage after the harrowing ordeal that almost cost him his life. According to
news sources, the fire fighters who rushed to the scene after the blaze broke out in the home where he was guarding the kittens told the press that the dog refused to leave the building and stood by the kittens despite thick smoke.
In the words of Fire Service Commander, Ken Brown:
“Leo wouldn’t leave the kittens and it nearly cost him his life.”
The kittens and Leo survived the blaze and are fine although fire fighters renamed Leo “Smoky.”
Can’ t imagine why.
Kudos to you, brave, sweet doggie, whatever be your name.
