What a wonderful story about a courageous dog. I owned a pit for almost ten years.He was a wonderful teddy bear of a dog.When I fell asleep and left a candle burning ,somehow it caught on fire.My dog,whos name was Kilo, woke me up,I ignored him so he came back and would stop.I awoke to flames in my bedroom. Had he not have woke me up I would have died that night. The fire caused minor damage only because Kilo saved me. I miss him,he was my baby. He was not the least bit vicious in fact he was stolen twice from me.It is the horroble owners who turn these amazing dogs into monsters.It is not the breed.

Time and time again, these animals save the humans from certain death. Yet look at how badly so many treat them. If this isn't an example of their love for us then I don't know what is. Bless his little spirit now with the most High One.
