A Fireman With a Big Heart

Our firemen will always put their lives on the line.
It doesn't matter who for, whether it's your life or mine.
Most people would never give any thought to saving a dog's life.
But to this fireman it was like saving someones wife.
The picture shows the thankfulness in this poor mama's eye.
She knew without this man's help her puppies would die.
You can just see the bond this tragic fire did start.
Between one thankful dog, and one fireman's big heart.
There's a bond there that no one else will ever have shared.
Be it just for the fact that one fireman showed that he cared.
Nothing else in this world show's a dog's thankfulness.
Then coming up to your face and giving you a big kiss.
