A real hero's story

[carlinjona]

One of the more vivid stories from Black Saturday that sticks clearly in my memory is hearing of a lady who, about to be airlifted away from the approaching fire, let herself out of the harness to chase after her dog who had wriggled free. People criticised her for endangering the policeman rescuing her. I thought I would do the same in her case.

Thank you for recounting this story. I'm not familiar with it and it's amazing and hair-raising.

Glad you found it interesting. I have a feeling that if this was written as fiction, an editor would have decided it was too implausible.
