Dog Leo saves kittens in Melbourne house fire
October 26, 2008 02:19pm

LEO the dog risked his life to protect four kittens trapped in a house fire in Melbourne last night.

The plucky pooch tested the courage and skills of firefighters as they were forced to dodge fallen power lines to reach him and his young feline companions at the burning weatherboard home in Pilgrim Street, Seddon just before 9pm.

Commander Ken Brown said family pet Leo, which remained in the house guarding the family's four-week-old kittens, owed his life to the firefighters.

"They got him out of the house and successfully resuscitated him,'' he said.

"They are just there spending some time now with Leo before they go off duty.''

Following a few tense minutes, the animals responded to oxygen and therapy, and were now fully revived.

Commander Brown said the family was relieved to be reunited with their family pets, including the mother of the kittens, which had initially been lost in the incident.

"Everyone's fine ... we rescued anyone,'' Commander Brown said.

An 11-year-old girl suffered smoke inhalation as she made her escape, and was treated by paramedics before being taken to hospital for observation.

She was at the home with her 37-year-old mother, a five-year-old sister and 18-year-old brother when the fire started in the front room.

However, Commander Brown said the lives of firefighters were put at further risk, with the family not having an evacuation plan or smoke alarms.

"A proper working smoke alarm and an evacuation plan equals a safer escape.''

The cause of the fire is being investigated.

A guy is driving around when he notices a sign in front of a house that
says:

FOR SALE:TALKING DOG

After ringing the doorbell, the owner advises that the dog is in the
backyard.

The guy walked around to the backyard and found a Labrador retriever
sitting quietly.

"Do you really talk?" he asked.

"Yep," the Lab replied.

"So, what's your story?"

The Lab looked up and said: "Well, I discovered that I could talk when I
was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA about
my gift, and in no time at all they had me jetting from country to country,
sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog
would be eaves dropping. I was one of their most valuable spies for eight
years running. But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I
wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settle down.

"I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security
following suspicious characters and listening in on their conversations. I
uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals.

"I got married, had a mess of puppies and now I'm just retired."

The guy is amazed, and went back into the house to ask the owner how much
for the dog?

"Ten dollars," the owner said.

"Ten dollars!? This dog is amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so
cheap?"

"Because he's a liar. He never did any of that stuff."

This joke isn't about a dog but a donkey (hey they both start with D)

Young Kevin, moved  to Sydneyand bought a
Donkey from a  farmer for $100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver the
Donkey the next  day. The next day he drove up and said, 'Sorry son, but
I have some bad  news, the donkey died.'
Kevin replied, 'Well,then just give  me my money back.'
The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I went and  spent it already.'
Kevin said, 'Ok, then, just bring me the  dead donkey.'
The farmer asked, 'What are ya gonna do with  him?
Kevin said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.'
The  farmer said, 'You can't raffle off a dead  donkey!'
Kevin said, 'Sure I can. Watch me.. I just won't  tell anybody he's dead.'
A month later, the farmer met up  with
Kevin and asked, 'What happened with that dead  donkey?'
Kevin said, 'I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at  two Dollars a piece and made
a profit of $898.00.'
The  farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?'

Kevin said, 'Just  the guy who won. So I gave him his two Dollars  back.'

Kevin now works for the Australian Government as  Prime Minister.

Does it hurt them - how do they work?

[F0551L]

 he barks once and a high pitch sound is emited if he barks again then a small electric current is given out   

 its about the size of a matchbox and uses 2 1/2 size AAA batteries, one thing we have noticed is that is set off by other things as well when we are travelling ( I suspect maybe radar detector or simailer) so poor fellow gets the occasional buzz he doesnt deserve,
 apart from that would recommend to all with a dog that likes to bark
