Saving dog: good (unless it was a toy dog). Most dogs will help it's owners.
Saving Cat: bad. damn cat started the fire. Cats don't do sh*t.
It doesn't say it anywhere in the story, but I just bet ypu that goddam cat somehow made it out. The only thing cats are good for is looking out for their own ass.
I'm not the first poster here to state the obvious! :o)
I'll grant you that the only thing predictable about a cat, is that the cat will do the unpredictable. Every cat owner knows this. Jamie Hanson should have never left a candle burning beyond her reach. I'm very sorry that both of her pets lost their lives because she wasn't using good judgement.
That was some dog. He really loved that cat.
I just loved this story. I am a BIG dog lover and I am not very fond of cats. For me, this says it all. He he and I agree with you. What can I say?
