Carries Three-Year-Old Florence Rogers Through Flames.
The hero of the fire brigade along the border between Yuba and Butte counties, Cal., is a great Dane, that fought his way through the flames bearing in his jaws the living body of 3-year-old Florence Rogers.
The parents of the child, when the alarm of fire was given, hastened to assist the neighbors, leaving little Florence playing on the kitchen floor with Bruno. When the wind shifted Rogers and his wife rushed home, but when they reached the clearing it was to see the house in a blaze. Rogers tried to get into the house, but was restrained by his companions. Just then there was a crash above the crackle of the flames. Bruno had burst through the kitchen window with the child, her garments knotted in his teeth. The baby’s clothes gave way as the dog landed, but in an instant he had her again in his grip and reached safety.
The child’s hands and face were painfully cut and burned, but she will recover.
