Leo the plucky Jack Russel Cross guarding what's left of the family home in Melbourne, Australia the day after his heroics.

It was ablaze when firefighters dodged fallen power lines to reach him and four newborn kittens he had refused to leave. Firefighters carried him out in the nick of time, reviving him with oxygen
and heart massage.

[Ken Brown, Metropolitan Fire Brigade]:
"Leo wouldn't leave the kittens and it nearly cost him his life."

An 11-year-old girl suffered smoke inhalation as she made her escape.

She was at home with her mother, a five-year-old sister and 18-year-old brother when the fire started in the front room.

Firefighters managed to rescue everyone.

And thanks to Leo, the kittens haven't used up any of their nine lives.

  • Amazing video Love it. I really want to get a Jack Russel very very intelligent dogs.

  • @nobleheight ..Yes, yes ,yes..you have it all right..you fucking idiot. To start, what makes you think that the dog "Didnt" go and get the kittens? Either way, they all got saved. More than what you have done lately

  • 11 dislikes???...what is wrong with you!? either you have no heart or you just abuse animals....

  • @jdbankshot bloody well said!

  • The dog didn't save anybody. All he did was stay with the kittens, which meant he himself needed saving. It would be a different story if the dog brought the kittens outside.

  • Dogs>Cats because you would never see a cat trying to save a dog.
