家族を火災から救った犬
家族を火災から救った犬
異変を知らせる犬はたくさんいますが、火災を知らせたお手柄犬がいます。
8歳の女の子、Katarinaの愛犬(デージー)はAM4:00頃、煙の臭いを感知して、ベッドを飛び降り、次々と両親、弟達を起こして避難させました。
犬は大型犬のブル・マスチフです。
愛犬はご褒美に、フィレステーキとアイスクリーム、そしていつも入ってはイケナイと怒られていた花壇ですが、デージー用の花壇が約束されたそうです。
残念なことは、他の愛犬たち（チワワ２頭）は煙で亡くなったそうです。

HUNTINGTON STATION, N.Y. (AP) — A family’s dog is being lauded as a heroine after waking an 8-year-old girl when a fire broke out at their home. Katarina Scholz jumped from her bed about 4 a.m. Thursday and followed her barking 2-year-old bull mastiff, Daisy, downstairs to alert the rest of the family, Suffolk County fire officials said.
The girl and her dog plus mom Teresa, dad Paul and brother Jake, 4, fled the home uninjured. Another brother, Paul Jr., 10, was sleeping over at a friend’s house.
“Daisy is definitely going to get filet mignon for dinner, and Katarina can have as much ice cream as she wants,” Teresa Scholz told Newsday. “My husband always yelled at the dog for going in the flower beds, but now we’re going to build one just for her. She deserves it.”
Two other family dogs, Chihuahuas, died in the blaze, which was being investigated by the county’s arson squad but wasn’t considered suspicious.
