LONGWOOD, fla. — A German shepherd helped firefighters locate the two young children of his owners in heavy smoke as a blaze destroyed their home.
The Seminole County Sheriff’s Office said the family’s dog, Maxx, helped firefighters find the 4-year-old boy and 2-year-old girl Monday night in their home. Moments earlier, neighbors who saw the fire spreading called 911, broke windows and helped evacuate the children’s mother, Margo Feaser.
Firefighters then were able to rescue Feaser’s husband, as well as the two children with Maxx’s help.
Family members’ conditions ranged from serious to critical. The dog was treated for smoke inhalation.
