When dogs do amazing things.

This one is pretty cool. Got this in an email. I stripped out most of the overwrought narrative.

During an early morning response, to a house-fire in Santa Rosa de Temuco, Chile ,
firefighters witnessed the unbelievable. A mother dog risked her life to save her
puppies from the fire surrounding the burning house, which started because of
a car bomb. 


The mother dog, Amanda, raced back and forth between the house, putting
her 10 day old puppies in the safest place she could find - a fire truck!


She didn't stop racing back into the fire until all of her puppies were safely away
from the fire.




After rescuing all of her pups from the blaze, Amanda sat down next to them,
protecting them with her body. Onlookers called an emergency veterinary
service, and she and her pups were rushed to the hospital. Aside from one
puppy being treated for serious burns, the entire family are alive and well
- thanks to the bravery of Amanda!
Not a lot of dogs would have done that. The coolest dog I ever met was one who woke up his family when the smoke detector failed and there was a fire. His name was Theo. Everyone was fine. The cynical could say that the dog was just saving his own skin but I prefer to give him more credit. I miss Theo.
