She is pregnant.
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.
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, noticed her 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.
Ralph: That is powerful stuff! Thank you for sharing it. Animals are so knowing … I wonder how many humans thanked the firefighter that day?
Ralph, This is so cute, great story and picture, did you kow we have a couple of dog groups here on A.R? One is "It's raining cats and dogs", and the other is "Dog Lovers".
Ralph....Ah what a lovely post and how precious is the kiss from the thankful dog.
