Yep. That last full measure of devotion. That's their job. And they know it. Like the dad that saves his kids and dies in the process.

Good dog. I'm sure he's missed.

That dog was not a Dupa, in spite of his name he was a Bohater.

Another example where I think guardian angels sometimes take the form of dogs.

Sometimes a mammal can be a dupa his/her whole life and then one day rise to the occasion.

2 for sure that I know of. One took a rattlesnake bite for me. She did live. But it was ugly. She wasn't my dog, she was a ranch dog, but we were best buds.

The other was there for me when I (unknowingly) rented a former crack house in a cheap neighborhood, and some youts came to visit at 3AM. Randy was my dog, and he's buried in my current back yard. I wanted him buried on the family estate.

I have long believed it is not an accident that dog is God spelled backwards.

Did they say what started the fire? Usually either a lit cigarette or an electrical issue.

Yours too?

Clearly the OP is to blame. My monitor operated perfectly before I clicked on this thread.
