Dog Thanks Fireman

[Molly Jacobson]

I got this in an email forward, so who knows whether the story is real or not, but it's one of my favorites, and makes me cry every time.

The dog is pregnant, and the fireman had just saved her from a fire in her house, rescuing her by carrying her out of the house into her front yard, and then he continued to fight the fire.

When he finally got done putting the fire out, he sat down to catch his breath and rest.

A photographer from the Charlotte, North Carolina newspaper, noticed her in the distance looking at the fireman. He saw her walking straight toward the fireman and wondered what she was going to do.

As he raised his camera, she came up to the tired man who had saved her life and the lives of her babies and kissed him just as the photographer snapped this photograph:

Wow, that's awesome really. I respect firemen because of the service they do to protect our lives and putting their lives on the line. That dog showed gratitude too.

What a shame! Yes still a cute picure of the dog kissing the fireman.

I love this one, also!!! I hope it is real, and believe it is, because I have owned Dobermans and it would be just like them to be that affectionate.

It isn't true, Molly, but who cares it could be.
We all know our babies are capable of gratitude and love and that is the only "truth" that matters.
