Lately, it seems like we've seen some pretty rotten things that people have done.....but yesterday, I was reminded that there are some people that are truly good.
A fire started in my neighbor's storage shed....it quickly spread to my privacy fence, up a tree, and then my shed. A random person driving on a main road a block away saw smoke and headed for it. He could hear sirens coming so he knew the FD was on the way...but he continued to the blaze. He saw the fire between the houses and several people trying to douse the flames.....he heard my newfs barking, went to my front door and banged on it, screaming "fire!" My daughter and grandaughter were napping, woke up, and raced out to safety. This stranger and his wife leashed all three newfs, got them into the back of his pickup truck, where he just happened to have a cooler full of melting ice. He saw my Easy Up tent, grabbed it and set it up over the bed of his truck to keep my babies in the shade. He stayed there with my dogs until I got home after getting that awful call while at work.
Dogs were fine, daughter and GD were fine, House is mostly fine....one broken window from the heat and some paint peeling, charred roof corner.
There are still some good people out there and this is the second time a random act of kindness from a stranger has saved my dogs.
