Family’s Dog Saves Toddler During Fire: ‘He Went Running Back into The House’ Mom Says

In Michigan, a family dog has saved the life of a toddler from fire.  “He went running back into the house because he knew Chantal, and my youngest was in her playpen,” Janet Kelley said.

“The firefighters had to chase him up and once they got up there, they realized that was going on.”

Kelley is living in their van with five members of the family and a dog named Blue after a fire destroyed their home last week.

“No dogs are allowed at a shelter and I refuse to leave Blue because God knows where my family would be without him,” she said.

The mom is now relaxed because their dog, Blue, is now safe and unharmed.

The top level of their apartment caught fire due to the kids of another tenant playing with a lighter.

Kelley’s two daughters and uncle were at the East Side Detroit home when the incident happened. Zoey, the oldest girl, and her uncle escaped safely.

“I thought one of my sisters got hurt or my cat or dog,” Zoey stated.

Blue was bought by the family two years ago from Detroit Dog Rescue. They are covered by the Red Cross and get a hotel for a few nights, but the family is short on cash and looking for a landlord to help them out or to have a GoFundMe set up.
