And this story is about how human kindness not only saved the life of an animal, but, thanks to a combination of circumstances, indirectly led (and continues to lead) to saving the lives of many people. But more about everything.
Several years ago, a barn burned down in Hanahan, Berkeley County, Southern California. Firefighters managed to pull out of the fire a puppy named Jack, who received second and third degree burns – more than 75 percent of his body was burned!
Jack’s owners took the dog to a veterinary clinic, from where, apparently, they were not going to take him. Fortunately, Jack’s recovery was not long in coming. And then the dog found a new owner – he was taken in by a firefighter named Lindler, who, in fact, pulled Jack out of the fire.
The dog quickly recovered, and soon became involved in the work of the fire brigade. After some time, she became the real mascot of firefighters. Moreover, Jack began to be used for an information campaign, in which the animal was taken to schools, talking about preventive measures to combat fires.
More to come: Jack was taken to the fireman’s oath (apparently he barked it), and then handed him an official dog tag as a full member of the state fire brigade. Now Jack has become part of a program for the rehabilitation of children who survived the fires.
Children come into contact with a dog whose body has terrible scars from a long-standing fire. Jack is a very kind and cheerful dog, attracting the love of others. Thus, the kids are shown that, despite the burns that disfigure the body, inner beauty remains inviolable …
