This dog saved his 4-year-old boy master from certain death as the family's humble, wooden shack burned to ashes. Little Ivan Saul was sound asleep and would have never woken up had it not been for the non-stop barking of his new friend “Rosco” which had wakened him from his peaceful slumber and allowed him the opportunity to run, unharmed, from the flame engulfed home. The dog had been burned in more than 30% of his body before being rescued himself by firefighters, but fortunately survived.
