Florida Pit Bull Saves Teen’s Life

What a way to be repaid for a little kindness to a good dog! I guess this family will always remember that good deeds are sometimes repaid!

Dog Credited With Saving Teen From Fire
The Associated Press

FORT MEYERS, Fla. — A pit bull who was recently adopted by a family after wondering onto a construction site may have saved a teen girl from a house fire on Friday.


Jerrica Seals, 17, was already safely out of the house by the time firefighters arrived, the News-Press of Fort Meyers reported.

“She called me screaming,” said Leticia Vega, 36, the sister of Seals’ boyfriend Javier Garcia, 23, who owns the home. “She said the dog woke her up barking, jumped on the bed and bit her on the leg.”

Seals was taken to the hospital for a checkup, but Garcia said she was going to be fine.

    Sounds like the recently adopted dog was really an “angel” in disguise! How awesome that a dog saved a life, I love hearing stories like that. And a good one for a bad labeled dog “Pit Bull”, goes to show labels are bad sometimes!

    Just what I like to read, a postiive story about a pit-bull. Only goes to prove you should never label a breed as bad. I bet their is one 17 year old out there that will never see the pit-bull breed as bad.

    Hello, I was wondering if you have or know someone who has the ability to take in a female pit bull? I have to warn you, she tried to kill a Weimaraner in a completely unprovoked attack last week. Any information you have would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Please bark back in with your location. There are a number of rescues that might be able to help but they need to know where the pb is currently living.
