Firefighters

When Linda Quinn, from Coxheath, Nova Scotia, Canada, went out to walk her dogs on November 30, 2014, the last thing she thought was that she would be saving a senior dog from drowning in a river. Not only did she save the pet, she also helped reunite the dog with the worried owners.

On Black Friday, a black Labrador named Bailey saved the life of his owner Mary Greenfield and also the lives of five other pets when the dog alerted the pet owner that their Ohio home was on fire.

The fire started around 12:30 p.m. after Greenfield had come back home from working a Black Friday shift at Kohl’s.

On Thursday, Nov. 20, 2014, a Rottweiler survived being thrown from a moving car while trapped inside a sleeping bag. The car was traveling in Queens, NYC, near the Jackie Robinson Parkway. The dog was saved thanks to other motorists who witnessed the cruel act.

In Lima, Peru, a homeless dog found tied outside a home has joined the fire department in the Breña district. The once abandoned and unwanted dog has gone from homeless to rescued, and is now getting trained to become a service rescue dog.

A home from the east side of Detroit caught fire earlier this morning and local firefighters were called to the scene to help rescue four residents and a three-year-old Shih-tzu poodle named Cream.

A person walking in front of the house noticed smoke coming from the house and called the fire department. Once rescuers arrived they fought off flames and rescued the trapped residents.

A 70-year-old woman risked her life by jumping into the frigid waters of Avon River in Bath, England, after her Jack Russell Terrier fell into the water and struggled to stay alive. Thankfully, both woman and pet were pulled to safety.

Firefighters from Valencia, Spain, came to the rescue of a small puppy whose curiosity got him into trouble. The puppy got his head stuck underneath a vehicle’s front seat.

A mischievous dog from Chile wedged himself in between the posts of an iron fence and needed volunteer firefighters to come to his rescue.

The hero rescuers are not sure why the dog was trapped in the fence. The pet probably wanted to chase after another dog and thought he could squeeze through the iron bars, but when his robust frame didn’t give way, the dog was left yelping for help.
