GREENVILLE, Maine—Thumper, a black Labrador retriever, is getting credit for saving a Greenville man when a fire swept through his home. Roland Cote said his wife and their 7-year-old grandson were away when the blaze started early Sunday in a converted two-story garage. He said Thumper grabbed him by the arm to wake him, leaving just enough time for him to dial 911 before fleeing the fast-moving fire.
While the dog is the hero, a cat is the bad guy in this story.
Cote said the fire marshal investigator believes the blaze was started when Princess, the family cat, tipped over a kerosene lantern. Cote says he and his pets escaped safely, but he says Princess did get her tail singed by the flames.

What a good boy...
I’m very sorry about the loss of your Lab...
They leave a hole in your heart..
Just plain cool...
It goes in both directions for me.
Me too. I tried to focus and see if I could change the direction, but she goes most emphatically clockwise.
The first time I viewed it, she went counter-clockwise, then after hitting refresh, she went both directions, so I hit refresh again, and she went clockwise.
Thank you! :)
Hmmm, it’s obvious which is “Top Dog” there.
That picture is quite funny.
Thanks.
But cats are their own indiviuals, a GOOD thing. =^..^=
Cats are people with fur on. =^..^=
I have yet to see a cat that can operate a can opener or go grocery shopping.
This picture is a reminder that in the end, both cat and dog will always buddie up. =^..^=
