It’s that tingly feeling you get when you realize something is definitely wrong, that there is a dog home alone, and you see smoke coming from its house. What do you do? Rescue him, of course!
The two women stopped and ran to the house, banging on the doors and windows of the home. Although there was no answer, Goddu, a former Marine Corps Sergeant, was worried the home was still occupied.
“I didn’t know if someone was trapped, sleeping or if they maybe had a heart attack while cooking,” Goddu said. “I had to make sure everyone had gotten out.”
Goddu ran to the backyard and opened the rear sliding glass door.
“The house was filled with smoke, but I could see something moving.” Goddu said.
After calling inside the home, a terrified pug ran toward Goddu but then fled back into the house. Without hesitating, Goddu ran into the smoke-filled home and rescued the family pet.
“The dog was coughing, spitting and shaking,” Goddu said.
Fortunately, the fire was taken care of in under an hour! And while the Goddu sisters had a busy day scheduled they elected to stay behind and comfort the frightened pug until the owner returned. For more on this story check out Livermore Patch!
Fire officials are quick to remind folks that it’s never a good idea to enter a burning home to save an animal but as dog-lovers we do commend Destiny and Lacie for their bravery in saving a sweet Pug who no doubt, along with his family, will be grateful for their heroics forever!
