“If you love a dog, you can love anyone in the world. My dog ​​is my best friend and I wouldn’t be here without him, so I knew I had to save all these other dogs. ” Shelter founder Gracie Hamlin said the fire made the WUnderdogs uninhabitable. She said Keith was not afraid when he saved the animals. “Even the firefighters didn’t want to deal with the dogs. They called Animal Control, but Keith was already in the building taking the cats and dogs out until everyone was safe, ”Gracie said. Gracie already knew Keith, the man she calls her “guardian angel,” as she allows him to have his own pit bull named Bravo at the shelter every night. Keith was on his way to pick up Bravo and take him for a walk when he saw the fire. `He is my hero` “I can’t thank you enough for saving my animals,” Gracie said. “I am still in disbelief because I have been near a fire and I know how quickly they ignite. He is my hero. ” Fortunately, the shelter was only a week away from moving into a new facility where the animals now live.
