Scott's decision not to end his terminally ill bulldog's life has ended up saving his own.
Scott Seymour's dog, Brittney, awakened him with her barking early on Sunday in time for both of them to escape from his burning house in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
The fire came two weeks after a veterinarian discovered the 9-year-old American bulldog had several cancerous tumors. Scott has had her since she was 6 weeks old.
The vet said the dog might not survive surgery, and Seymour ruled out chemotherapy, believing it would be too hard on Brittney.
Seymour said he could have had Brittney put down, but instead decided to give her medication to blunt her pain until death comes naturally, probably within a few weeks.
What an incredible dog and what an amazing story.
What a truly amazing story. Scott must be a very brave and intelligent dog. And how nice that he repaid his owner who had decided to let him live for as long as possible. Very touching.
