A rescue dog named Rebel who is a rescue dog that was adopted by his owner Kayla Blake who is a student at James Madison University in Harrisonburg Virginia must have a guardian angel looking out for him when a five alarm fire in a three story apartment near the campus. At the time that the fire began, Rebel was in the apartment all alone. The firefighters were not able to rescue the dog during the time of the fire since the flames were too intense to rescue the dog. Two days later first responders found Rebel alive and well with only a burned nose on his body. Kayla was happy that the first responders were able to reunite her dog with after two days of missing in action.

I agree with you since Rebel must have the spirit of my late dog Poochie as her guardian angel.

@DianneN Poochie lived 15 wonderful years in our home. She will never be forgotten.

Rebel was a very lucky dog to have survived a fire at this owner's home and be found two days later safe and sound.

Dogs seem to have a lot of lives in them.
