Thumbs up Buddy Saves The Day!

Buddy the dog saves owner's home from fire

Quote:
- The dog then ran out, finding Alaskan Trooper Terrence Shanigan at a crossroads, and guided him to the blaze at their home in Caswell Lakes.
Trooper Shanigan was working with rescuers to find the property in an area with about 75 miles of back roads, but their GPS systems were unable to locate the house.

- The event was recorded by the video camera inside the patrol car, and shows Buddy occasionally looking back at the car as he raced ahead, galloping around three turns before arriving in front of the blaze, which was very close to the Heinrichs' home

... and most people who don't own dogs just think they're all dumb animals.

We dog lovers/owners know better.

Noble beasts. I'd still say a bit slow, but damn noble beasts.

I'm not a dog owner, but stories like these should remind others how great dogs are.

Buddy would also eat master, if master died.

He's probably try and convince everyone the dog started the fire.

My dog stopped Dr. Octopus from robbing a bank about 6 months ago.

Apparently when the dog got the cops to the house it turned around and went back to the same intersection and waited for the fire dept and guided them to the fire as well.

Very smart dog.

When the police and fire department can't find your house with a freakin GPS, you're just asking for bad things to happen.

I can't see someone's stupid Pomeranian doing this. I like real dogs, not ones where all the dog has been bred out of them...

And, if you own a little mop that barks, I have no apologies (gawd, I have so many friends with stupid little dogs...gah!)

I hate stupid little dogs too! I want a dog to be a best friend who could kick my ass if it wanted to (the article says Buddy here chased away bears!), not a surrogate baby that can be kept in a purse!

I am not a dog person unless it is a real dog. German Shepard, Siberian Husky, Wolf-dog
