Some  of you here may already know that I've been a member of my local VFD for over 20 years.  I've read stories like this for many years,  but never this close to home.

So the obvious question is.... why did she run back into the house?!!! 

To get her dog.

my mom died the same way,.. the dog was under the bear claw tub, and my mother was on the floor beside him.

The sad irony in her case was that the dog escaped on his own and wasn't even in the house.

RIP Mr Holmes.
