From the LVRJ: John Headley's guardian angels had paws, not wings.
Headley was sleeping in his recreational vehicle early Friday morning when his canine companions jolted him out of his slumber.
Pitiful, a 4-pound Chihuahua that typically snoozed while curled up next to Headley's noggin, was yelping, while Baby Doll, a 40-pound pit bull that nuzzled up to Headley's feet every night, was barking and jumping against the RV's window. Headley looked out and saw a fire near his house.
"I saw really bad flames," Headley said. "Baby Doll was going crazy. I've never seen her act like that."
Headley immediately called his wife from his cellphone and told her to get out of the burning house.
He ran out of his RV, which was parked behind a second RV at the side of his home, near Rancho Drive and Cheyenne Boulevard.
Headley's son and his girlfriend were in the second trailer. Neither of the RVs was on fire then, Headley said.
That is when he decided to leave Baby Doll and Pitiful behind and waited for four people to make it out of the two-story home. Six more dogs also had to be collected. http://www.lvrj.com/news/adopted-dogs-perish-in-fire-after-alerting-family-to-danger-139146179.html
One reason why dogs are man's best friend: these two dogs saved a family from certain death but sadly, the dogs died by sacrificing themselves to the family.
Dogs who are treated with respect will do almost anything for their owner, which kind of reminds me of this joke:
If you lock a dog and your wife in the trunk of a car for 5 hours, who will be happy when they are released?
Of course the answer is that the wife will be pissed while the dog will have their tail wagging and wanting to smother you with kisses.
Thank goodness for these two dogs. and if you ever have a chance to own a dog, please consider getting a rescue dog.
