I got this in an email today. Thought all the dog lovers would enjoy it.




The Kiss

He had just saved her from a fire in her house, rescuing her by
carrying her out of the house into her front yard, while he continued to fight
the fire.

She is pregnant.

When he finally got done putting the fire out, he sat down to catch
his breath and rest.

A photographer from the Charlotte, North Carolina newspaper, "The
Observer," noticed the female in the distance looking at the fireman.

He saw her walking straight toward the fireman and wondered what
she was going to do.

As he raised his camera, she came up to the tired man who had saved
her life and the lives of her babies, and kissed him, just as the
photographer snapped this photograph.

I think this came through before. It's a nice story, but not true. If you check here you'll find an explanation: http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/gratitude.asp

It's still a beautiful photo, I'd heard that she hadn't actually been rescued by the firefighter. When I first saw it, and, thought he had rescued her, I thought, ha, he's probably got something yummy on his nose. ;)

After reading the real story, I still think that Cinnamon was giving that firefighter a kiss of gratitude! She knew he did good!

If you ask me, the story is not all that far off.
He didn't carry her out of the house, but he was fighting a fire in her house! She knew he did a good deed!!

I just love that picture! Everytime I see it I get a huge smile on my face and tears in my eyes! :D
RIP Cinnamon

I agree! Even though she was not rescued by him personally, she was still saved from the fire and she knew he was helping to put the fire out. Dogs are very emotional animals and extremely intelligent! That is a GREAT PHOTO!!!! :D
