Such a heartwarming story, and I'm especially glad to see it was positive press for a pit bull whose breed usually only ever get negative stories about them.

Quote:
The Elkhart County Red Cross is calling a Bristol pit bull a hero after he alerted his family to a fire, and even tried to pull a 3-month-old baby girl away from the danger....

The family says Thor barked and jumped on them until they woke up. Then he grabbed the baby's bassinet and dragged it to the front door.

WTG Thor!
