Doggy Hero

Saw this article on Yahoo! and thought it was a cute story.

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 building 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 Sunday Leo, who fire fighters nicknamed 'Smoky', was again back at the house.

Where is some fresh material? I know of Dog pictures with Santa at the South Hills mall, a new movie out (Marley and Me) that is dog related, Christmas pictures at Camp Bow Wow, etc.

I think it's time you stop playing video games and rededicate yourself to the cause. And stop by Lola frilly panties to pee in.
