Andrew Robb and DeMarco Carter may have been neighbors in Des Moines, Iowa, but they had never met. That all changed when Carter’s home went up in flames early one morning.
Carter made it out alive even, though he had inhaled a lot of smoke. His three dogs, however, were still trapped inside.
Like the California owner who ran into his burning home to save his two poodles, Robb demonstrated some serious bravery when he decided to do the same for his neighbor’s dogs — Casey, Scrappy, and Chipper.
“He said, ‘Anybody in there?’ And I said, ‘Yeah, my dogs.’ He said, ‘Well, we got to get them out,’ and he ran in there and grabbed one. He said, ‘Any more?’ And I said, ‘Yeah, two more on the other side,’” Carter recalled.
Even Carter was shocked to see Robb put his life on the line for the three pooches. But, having dogs of his own, Robb knows how important they are.
“They’re like my kids, like part of my family, and I see these dogs all the time out here. So, I’m like, ‘Ya know, I’m like, that could be his family.’ I can’t leave those dogs in there. I can’t do that,” he said.
