FORT MEYERS, Fla. - A pit bull who was recently adopted by a family after wondering onto a construction site may have saved a teen girl from a house fire on Friday.

Jerrica Seals, 17, was already safely out of the house by the time firefighters arrived, the News-Press of Fort Meyers reported.

"She called me screaming," said Leticia Vega, 36, the sister of Seals' boyfriend Javier Garcia, 23, who owns the home. "She said the dog woke her up barking, jumped on the bed and bit her on the leg."

Seals was taken to the hospital for a checkup, but Garcia said she was going to be fine.

Deputy fire Chief Steve Clyatt said blaze appears to have been caused by a bad extension cord on a window air conditioner.

Vega said her oldest brother, Gabriel Garcia, found the dog while he was working.

"He didn't pay no mind to it," Vega said. "He just kept working and the dog just stayed there so he brought it home. He doesn't usually bark. He's real friendly."

watch all of the anti pit bull freepers heads explode after they try to find a way to spin this to make the pit bull look bad. As everyone knows all pit bulls are pure evil every second of every day and should all be destroyed.

Yes, well, I am trying to find an inexpensive way to ship a young Pit from No. Nevada to Washington so that it can be adopted.
It's in need of a new home due to being against the former owners lease.

There is a couple in WA who want it badly, they own their home free and clear, so no lease issues.
I need to get this done before I give in and keep it for myself.

I already have hounds, and kind of swore not to take in any more dogs after losing two to old age last year.

But this one is so damn smart and friendly.........

Every conservative forum needs its nanny-state contingent, no?

Properly socialized and obedient pit bulls are fine dogs. Too many are unloved. Many are tormented by humans.

Trying to make a weapon out of dog is very low down indeed. To turn love into hate. Vile.

Deputy fire Chief Steve Clyatt said blaze appears to have been caused by a bad extension cord on a window air conditioner. Further investigation revealed that the cord had been chewed by the pit bull. Clyatt speculates the dog was trying to set up a scene to make himself look like a hero. The pit bull has been arrested for arson and endangering human life.

I'll wait for pit haters too. In the mean time I can't help but wonder what laws were broken in the relationship between Jerrica Seals, 17, and boyfriend Javier Garcia, 23.

Contact these people and see if they have a "doggy railroad" network of volunteers who will relay-drive dogs from one state to another.

I know the Ibizan Hound Rescue has such a 'railroad'.

Oh, come on pal -- what are you thinking? Are you THAT naive... OBVIOUSLY the pit was saving the kids from the fire SO HE COULD MAUL THEM LATER.

I'll wager the dog even threw some hickory logs in hoping they would impart a sweet, smokey flavor.

Those pits are just PLAIN evil. ;-)

I have to admit, I had to chuckle when I read the dog bit her on the leg to awake her. My immediate thought was, well, at least it went for the leg rather than the throat.

It's obvious from the story that the dog was delusional; it didn't know that typical behavior is to go wandering onto a site. ;)

I was thinking the exact same thing, and it was funny.

I wander what the dog was thinking when it did that?
