Leo the dog saves kittens from burning fire

A dog has risked its life to protect four kittens trapped in a house fire in Melbourne, Australia.

Firefighters found Leo guarding the kittens which were in a cardboard box in one of the bedrooms.

When the fire broke out inside the house, the family of four plus their other dog managed to escape.

However Leo paid the price for his bravery. He succumbed to the smoke and heat.

Firefighters rushed the dog to safety and revived the unconscious Leo with a heart massage and oxygen.

Thumbs up if you would go out of your way to save an ANIMAL

I would most certainly do this for a close friend, but I wonder how many people would do this for another human being, regardless of your relation to them? If I knew there was someone in danger like this, I would most certainly attempt to help them! Thumbs up if you are one of the people that would do this for another person!

Yes, dogs are in fact wonderful creatures, so are Humans, they just happen to have a job, kids, a mortage, religión, lawyers...

I gave an oath many years ago to defend my country and protect my fellow citizens with my life if necessary. I never plan to rescind that commitment.

As for Animals, I see no difference.

Such a good doggy. I'm so glad they were able to revive the doggy, he's precious. All he was worried about was saving his kitties. It don't know if it was mentioned about what happened to the momma kitty.

Firefighters and police do it every day. There are those of us who aren't ashamed to say that we would do the best we could to save people as well as animals. Sometimes its a simple matter of learning cpr, a well known life saver. Personally, if I could, I would do my best to save a life.
