BALTIMORE, MD (KTRK) -- Firefighters say a dog gave his life protecting an 8-month-old from a fire late Sunday.

The girl is alive today thanks to an act of heroism and a heart-breaking loss for her family.

Erika Poremski, the child's mother, said she had quickly stepped out to her car when she turned around to find the house in flames and her daughter Viviana inside.

Dogs are amazing. You don’t really hear about cats doing these kind of things.

Look at this cat protecting a child from a babysitter he (the cat ) mistakenly thought was trying to hurt the child. Poor babysitter, but what a kitty!

What about the cat who charged the dog who sneaked around to attack the toddler?

Dogs also maim and kill.

Don’t hear about THAT too much with cats, either.

Looks like a Poodle type to me. And not “giant” at all.
