Fire broke out overnight at the house in Australia's southern city of Melbourne, where he was guarding the kittens. Firefighters 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 on Sunday Leo, whom firefighters nicknamed Smoky, was again back at the house. awwwwwwwwwwww I don't think my dog would leave the other animals either, she thinks the pig is her baby 1 Crazy Gravy reacted to this Look at the flowers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy Gravy 100 Report post Posted October 28, 2008 Feel good tearjerker. And your dog would be a hero too, thats for sure. But Ditto and his 3 legs would be the first to flee far away. LOL. Heartwarming story, sometimes animals make better humans than most of the riff raff. Thanks for posting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
