Sangeeta, a mother of three boys, looks down on her eldest son, Dinakaran, seated, and the dog that saved his life, Selvakumar Sunday, Jan. 2, 2005. Sangeeta could only carry two of her boys and had to leave Dinakaran to fend for himself when a tsunami crashed into their village on Dec. 26, 2004. Selvakumar pulled Dinakaran out of the family hut and nipped and nudged him up a hill to safety. (AP Photo/Chris Tomlinson )
By the way, I have this bridge in Brooklyn that I am trying to sell if you are interested.
Lemme guess, the bridge doesn't have a name because it doesn't have legs and can't come running when you call it?
Cheers, CC :)
You guessed it, pretty much like the three legged pig.
I trust your experience, however I think that dog will be safe.
Oh yes, all animals seem to instinctively fear fire. I have pet rats and in the several years I've had them, the most upset I've ever seen then was when we had a minor kitchen fire in the oven. All my rats were gently raised and tamed, and thus relatively fearless...thunderstorms, touchy and loud smoke detectors, curious cats, most strangers, all the things you'd expect to scare a small animal never phased them a bit. The first serious whiff of smoke tho, and their ears went straight up into attentive/alert position and their little noses were twitching trying to find the threat. That was without a doubt the closest to outright panic rather than friendly curiosity or mild annoyance I've seen from them.
Not THIS family!!!
