Dog Rescues Kittens From Burning House

SYDNEY (Reuters) A dog was hailed as a hero on Sunday after it risked its life to save a litter of newborn kittens from a house fire, rescuers said.

In a case which gives the lie to the saying about ‘fighting like cats and dogs’, the terrier cross named Leo had to be revived with oxygen and heart massage after his ordeal. Fire broke out overnight at the house in Australia’s southern city of Melbourne, where he was guarding the kittens.

Fire fighters who revived Leo said he refused to leave the home and was found by them alongside the litter of kittens, despite thick smoke.

“Leo wouldn’t leave the kittens and it nearly cost him his life,” fire service Commander Ken Brown told reporters.

The four kittens also survived the fire and on Sunday Leo, who fire fighters nicknamed ‘Smoky’, was again back at the house.

    Now it’s sad to know this dog risked it’s life for these kittens, and humans take and use kittens and torture them in experiments for make up, and shampoos, and we think we’re better than animals?
