Breath of life: Amira Bichara gasps in relief as a golden retriever rescued from a house fire begins breathing normally in Kettering, Ohio. Firefighters pulled the dog from an attached garage that had filled with smoke.

13. Oh how wonderful! I love firefighters....and those #@$% don't want

to grant them a bill to provide up to $7.4 billion in health care benefits to 9/11 rescue workers who ran into burning buidlings because first they want their tax breaks for rich people. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Firefighters saved everyone in my building in NYC....then those same guys died in 911.......... :'-(
911 is personal to me.

18. One of my favorite stories is exactly of a furry

We got kittie out of home... she was barely breathing. We took O2 mask, nothing fancy like that, what we had, and gave O2 to the kittie. Kittie started to mewo and that kid was so damn happy...

I had a case of the sneezes all tour... I am highly allergic to cat dander... but in all the pain and destruction of the house fire, that seven year old stil had her kittie.

19. I am so glad for the little guy. I cried when I read a story in yesterday's paper about a pair of

1-year-old goldens who had broken through the ice while playing on a frozen pond. One was rescued, but the other drowned. It absolutely broke my heart, I am glad this baby will live.
