My Hero

He had just saved her from a fire in her house, rescuing her by carrying her out of the house into her front yard, while he continued to fight the fire.

She is pregnant.

When he finally got done putting the fire out, he sat down to catch his breath and rest.

A photographer from the Charlotte, North Carolina newspaper, "The Observer," noticed her in the distance looking at the fireman.

He saw her walking straight toward the fireman and wondered what she was going to do.

As he raised his camera, she came up to the tired man who had saved her life and the lives of her babies, and kissed him, just as the photographer snapped this photograph.




And people say animals are dumb
Have a Wonderful Day!

    Aww shucks Ian - I'm a dog lover, too. Used to have 2 boxers and now have a cocker spaniel. Actually, the bigger the dog, the more I love them.

    Hi Leslie, I have another of my little sketches on my blog. Why don't you pop over to see it?

    I e-mailed you yesterday, but I don't know if you received it. My computer stops and starts at its own pleasure, so I never know if anything has been sent.

    Cheers,

    Josie
