Dog Does Not Save Master from House Fire
Hartford, CT - The story of Rebecca Tilde and her golden retriever mix, Barbarino, is a refreshing one compared to what we usually hear in the news today–refreshing in a very tragic way.
At approximately 2:30 this morning, as Tilde performed her nightly ritual of sleeping, a fire broke out in her home near 4th and Jefferson. The cause of the fire is yet unknown, but the effect is yet well-known: as the flames spread from the garage area into the living room and toward’s Tilde’s bedroom, Barbarino woke from his slumber and immediately recognized the danger. Picking up his purple squeaky elephant in his mouth, the dog jumped into action and found his way outside and across the street where he proceeded to lift his leg and chew on the very obviously counterfeit pachyderm.
Fire fighters arrived at the scene as Tilde’s shrieks of pain at being burned alive could be heard out on the street. Barbarino growled and barked in response. “No, I don’t think the dog knew that was his master screaming. I think he was just barking because it sounded like some wild creature,” opined firefighter Robert Innskeep.
As the firemen fought off the blaze, Barbarino tugged on the hoses and several members of the squad had to alternate at distracting him with games of fetch, a popular sport of canines.
