A German Shepherd called a hero in Germantown Maryland

Tweet

A housefire that took place in Germantown Maryland on Monday evening was bittersweet for Miriam Rodriguez, her husband and her two children since a fire destroyed their home and their family cat went missing due to the fire damage in their home. Despite the fact that the home has fire alarms installed, since there was no smoke to activate the alarms, their eight year old German Shepherd named Max barked a lot to wake them up and alert them of the dangerous situation that they were facing. The four members of the Rodriguez family managed to flee the home in time as well as Max safe and sound. The missing cat named Lucy is expected to return home soon since she was scared of seeing her owners home burned to the ground due to a metal flue and fireplace where the fire started according to the investigators report.
