RIP Buddy, the dog who saved the lives of his family in the Atlanta area

Dog saves Clayton County family from house fire
Early Friday morning, Buddy came to the rescue of his Clayton County family when a fire broke out in the kitchen. Thanks to Buddy, the two adults and three children made it out safely.

Buddy did not.
The Shih Tzu alerted the family about 5:30 am, which had a television on and did not hear the smoke alarm, when a fire that had been put out earlier in the evening re-kindled overnight.

Again, thanks to Buffy for sharing.

Thank you for sharing this story! He was truly a loyal and brave dog. It is amazing to me how smart our canine companions are---one of my own dachshunds knew I was having a cardiac event about 10 years ago.
