We often hear the saying “fight like cats and dogs”, perhaps because these people think dogs and cats will never get along. However, this is not always true and this is what the video below proves. Melbourne firefighters received an urgent call about a family home on fire. When they arrived at the scene, they were told the family dog was still inside.
When they rushed inside they had no idea they would save more than one life. They actually saved five because Leo stayed in the fire to save four newborn kittens. The four-legged hero named Leo stayed put and refused to let go of the kittens. He protected them until help arrived. With the family safe, firefighters rushed home to save the beloved animals. They found the dog and carried him – along with the cats – just in time.
They were able to save the animals and revive them all with oxygen. “Leo didn’t want to leave the kittens and it almost cost him his life,” Ken Brown of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade told the local news station. Eventually, the family reunited with all of their pets, including the cat’s mother, who was first lost in the turmoil. As for Liu, who risked his life to protect the kittens from harm, Australian firefighters hailed him as a hero.
Watch Leo’s selfless act in the video below: Luckily thanks to Leo, the cats haven’t used up any of their nine lives. Please share this wonderful story with all of your family and friends.
