The most loyal friend you'll ever have

Sorry for the downer on Monday, but as you might know, I love my two dogs more than just about anything in the world, so this sad story really touched me.

HAMMONTON, N.J. - Nine people escaped a house fire Saturday after a pit bull's barking alerted them to the blaze. But the young dog died in the fire, Hammonton police said.

None of the adults and children in the ranch home were injured, Detective John Panarello said. All were sleeping when the dog began barking around 4:30 a.m., and when they went to investigate they realized the house was in flames. As they fled, a newspaper carrier in the area noticed the flames and called 911.

The cause of the fire, which apparently began in the back of the house and destroyed most of it, was under investigation. - AP

  1. I saw this on the news, so sad. My little dog is always looking out for us. I know how you feel, I would take a bullet for my dog Kosmo! We met you at the last puppy playdate, Kosmo was the middle dog in the sniffy train.
