Although jumping off the building to escape is not the best option, if you encounter a situation like the dog below, where the floor is not high and there is no way to retreat, you may need to muster up the courage to take that step.
It is said that a man in Pennsylvania, USA, found a burning house on his way to work, but no one escaped or put out the fire. Obviously, the whole family went to work or school.
The man hurriedly called the firefighters and asked nearby passersby for help, trying to use a hose to catch water to put out the fire. Unfortunately, their efforts were only a drop in the bucket and had no effect. Fortunately, firefighters arrived quickly and began to put out the fire.
Just then, something unexpected happened: a dog suddenly appeared on the second floor window!
The dog, named Charlie, stuck his head out the window and wriggled as he barked desperately at the crowd outside for help. But now the house is very dangerous inside and outside, the fire in the room is burning, and it is difficult for firefighters to carry it out.
An enthusiastic neighbor downstairs opened his hands to the dog and persuaded it to jump out of the window. This is the safest way at the moment.
After some psychological struggle, the dog finally chose the “Leap of Faith”, jumped from the window into the arms of the neighbor, and then rolled to the ground to extinguish the small flame on his back.
Another neighbor on the side saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to help pat off the burning fur on the dog’s back.
You can clearly see that the dog’s back near the tail has been charred and blackened. The dog jumped all over the ground in pain, and was still breathing out smoke from its mouth. “It’s full of smoke in its mouth and lungs!” the man who was the first to spot the fire told the media.
Next, the owner’s other dog and two cats were found nearby. It seems they were very cautious and managed to escape when the fire first started.
The house was eventually completely burned down. Although the cause of the fire is still unclear, in any case, we should pay more attention to safety issues and eliminate potential safety hazards as soon as possible.
A fundraiser was launched for the family, which raised nearly $60,000. I wish the family can get out of the fire as soon as possible, and also hope that this courageous dog can recover quickly.
