When he finally got done putting the fire out, he sat down to catch his breath and rest.

He saw her timidly walking straight toward the fireman, tail between her legs, and he wondered what she was going to do.
As he raised his camera, she came up to the tired man who had saved both her life and the lives of her babies, and kissed him, just as the photographer snapped this photograph.
And people say animals are dumb - yeah right....
