GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - A Michigan man's decision not to end his terminally ill bulldog's life has ended up saving his own.

Scott Seymour said his dog, Brittney, awakened him with her barking early Saturday in time for both of them to escape from his burning house in Grand Rapids.
The fire came two weeks after a veterinarian discovered the nine-year-old American bulldog had several cancerous tumours.
The vet said the dog might not survive surgery, and Seymour ruled out chemotherapy, believing it would be too hard on Brittney.

Seymour said he could have had Brittney put down, but instead decided togive her medication to blunt her pain until death comes naturally, probably within a few weeks.

Firefighters said the house may be a total loss

While reading such messages I notice God is giving a helping hand. Suffice to say there are enough humans who would rather see you dead instead. At least an animal doesn't have double intentions/standards..

I know Grand Rapids is in Michigan. They have a speedway I like.
