The Seminole County Sheriff’s Office says that the dog named Maxx helped firefighters find the 4-year-old boy and 2-year-old girl Monday night in their home in the Orlando suburb, Longwood.

“Maxx, the family dog, is credited with assisting firefighters through the heavy smoke to the location of each of the two children,” according to a GoFundMe page set up for the family.

German Shepherds are the best. That dog is just beautiful!

Are you asking me my location? We’re in south central Pennsylvania.

Yes I was hoping you were a little closer so I could come and see your dogs.

I'm only a hobby breeder, we have pups once or twice a year, if that. Here is my big boy Ash, he'll be 11 in less than 3 weeks...we breed dogs similar to him.
