When their one-year-old baby was stuck in a house fire, their family dog would not leave her side until she was rescued.
On Feb. 21, a fire broke out in a multi-family home in Detroit.
Janet Kelley, a mother of four, said the fire started in the unit below them, where another family lives. One of the children in that unit was playing with a lighter in the bedroom and lit up a mattress.
Kelley's 1-year-old daughter was still stuck in a playpen inside the house when firefighters arrived. The family dog, Blue, refused to leave the house and "alerted rescue to where she was located."
Blue, a three-year-old Pitbull Lab mix, is a rescue dog that Kelley has had for two years. Read more about the family at the link in our bio.
