Leo the brave

Leo licking one of the kittens

There are reasons why dogs make best friends. Here's one reason why. A terrier cross named Leo claimed news front lines last week after he risked his own life to save a litter of newborn kittens from a burning house in Melbourne, Australia. After his brave rescue Leo had to be revived with oxygen and a heart massage. Fire broke out due to unknown reasons in the house where Leo was entrusted with the safety of the four week old kittens. When firefighters arrived at the scene they found that the inhabitants had managed to escape but Leo was standing immovable and unshaken next to his wards engulfed by thick smoke.
