A 6-year-old dog died while trying to protect an 8-month-old baby from a tragic house fire. If not for the heroic dog’s ultimate sacrifice, the infant would not have survived.
On Aug. 14, 2016, Erika Poremski, from Maryland, Baltimore, had stepped outside the house toward her car so as to charge her cellphone. She returned a few minutes later, only to find her house engulfed in flames, with her 8-month-old daughter, Viviana, and pet dog, Polo, stuck inside a bedroom up the stairs.
