Now that’s a rescue dog.
A Detroit mama says the street dog she embraced saved her infant child’s life — rushing into their blazing family home to ensure firemens might discover the kid in her playpen.
Mom of 4 Janet Kelley, 40, said Blue — whom she embraced 2 years earlier from Detroit Dog Rescue — showed method more than a good kid when thick, black smoke overwhelmed everybody in her two-family building.
“He went running back into the house because he knew Chantal, my youngest, was in her playpen,” Kelley told Fox 2 of the brave hound.
“The firefighters had to chase him up — and once they got up there, they realized what was going on,” the relieved mama said of Blue leading them to her still-trapped 1-year-old child.
Kelley told the Detroit Free Press that her real-life Lassie — a mix of a pit bull and a Labrador who invested his very first year residing on the street — is “very protective over all of us.”
“He also loves his best friend Smokey, the family cat,” she said, relatively without keeping in mind the harsh paradox of her other enduring animal’s name.
The family “lost everything,” including their home, they said in an online fundraising event that by Wednesday had actually raised more than $88,000.
Kelley said that prior to contributions permitted her to get a hotel room, she at first slept with her family in her van due to the fact that “no dogs are allowed at a shelter.”
“And I refuse to leave Blue because God knows where my family would be without him,” she informed Fox 2.
