Those of us who adore our dogs understand what they represent in our lives; we just want them to be well and will go to any length to protect them. And undeniable proof of this has been provided by a guy in Australia, whose actions to save his pet dog's life have won widespread acclaim and respect.

Mark Woodbury lives in Rutherford, New South Wales, with his devoted companion, a massive German Shepherd named Ditch. He had endless moments of enjoyable games and nice companionship with him.

But in June 2015, she had no idea what would happen when he walked out for a few minutes to get the groceries he needed. When he returns, he notices that something is wrong with his house; from a distance, he can see a fire raging in his house.
