    Oh, that's just awful, I'm so sorry for your loss. When I lived in Calif. there were 2 wildfires that were way too close for comfort...had the wind picked up & sent embers
    flying, it would not have ended well...my home was only a mile to a mile & a half away. Just lucky, it was often windy there & it blew in the exact direction that would
    have brought the fire straight to where I lived. Anyway, this story touched a few nerves as a dog (& pet) lover.

    Glad that the dog was okay and that they came back for him!!

    My grandparents lost their home and there wasn't time to get the cats because they were hiding under the bed I'm so glad that my grandparents survived but they are very sad about their losses. It was close, the fire was in their backyard when their neighbor came to the house and woke them up!

    That's so sad...to have no time, & just have to flee. Lucky that neighbor came though, such a close call.

    Yeah, I can't imagine...They were sound asleep so that neighbor saved their lives!! My grandparents were on the news and it showed the remains of their house. Hard to see since I have been going there since I was 5.

    Was this recent? like in California? So awful, & whenever it was, I think it would take anyone a long time to 'get over', if ever? Especially when you have to leave
    pets & everything else behind. So fortunate they had a good neighbor at least...but just so hard to go thru.

    Yes, it was the very fires that are in this article. My grandparents lived in Paradise, California. It's really sad how many people lost their homes and pets!

    I was afraid of that...so sorry. It's even harder because they didn't just lose a few houses but so much of their community all at once...I know I'd be in shock for days.

    Thank you! I'm hoping that everyone will be able to heal relatively quickly.
