Answer 1

Aw that's so cute and sweet.

I bet the photographer expected a shot of the fireman yelling with a Doberman attached to his leg by the jaws. The shot must've changed his mind.

Answer 2

Thank you for sharing and refreshing my memory.  Someone had posted this before on my Cyberdobe list that I belong too.  It brought tears to my eyes the same as it did the first time I say it.  I have been without a Dobe for almost 1 1/2 years now, and there is not 1 day that goes by that I don't talk to someone about the breed.  I use to breed and show Dobes, so this breed is the love of my life.  My husband and I are getting older now, and I would love to have another Dobe.  I do have three dogs now, and if another Dobe is in the stars for us, I will get a rescue.  I would even take in an Albino from rescue, just to pick up the pieces for the unscrupulous breeders.  Bless those Dobies!!!

That is so cute. What a smart dog. She knew he saved her. The photographer was probably expecting her to bite him or something

The photographer probably thought she was going to bite him.

But I think she needed to say thank you for saving her and her babies.  And that was her way of saying thank you.

Answer 20

Amerz is 100% correct on this one!  Yes, I LOVE the photograph- but it's one of those with a made-up story to tug at your heart strings.  Please- read the "real" story as seen on the snopes page listed by Amerz!

i'm  not  sure  about  the   photographer  but  i  know  that  best  friend  of  man  was  sure  glad  to  see  the  firefighter.

Answer 22

like the first person wrote he probably thought the dog was aggressive because of its breed.but he must not know dogs that well!!ya it made me cry and confirmed what i already knew,dogs are just like us except they cant talk.

Answer 23

i bet it made the firemans day.

Answer 24

I love the picture, but the story on the site is inaccurate;

http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/gra...

I love how I get a TD for posting a link to the REAL story...*sigh* people just love as fairy tale I guess.

Answer 25

She is Beautiful!  

Answer 26

He was thinking: "How can I make people cry?" *SOB*

Answer 27

I should think by the body posture and the facial expressions of the dog, that he knew it didn't have a bad bone in its body, and that he was going to be in for an amazing photo.

Bet he was pleased he got the shot, and so am l.

Dogs are amazing animals and have much more understanding than a lot of people give them credit for.

This photo shows perfectly why l love dogs so much.

Answer 28

Yeah, big baby here too, made my throat constrict and tears come..

The photographer was very smart to click when he did.

Answer 29

Thanks for sharing. Dogs understand a LOT more than we give them credit for. :)

Answer 30

Yes, definitely a priceless pic.  She knew what he did for her and wanted to show her appreciation.
