A family in near Paducah, Kentucky lost everything they own in a house fire this week but they are thankful that everyone got out alive. That may not have happened had it not been for one "four-legged" member of the family. Jason Breiding was cooking when he says a grease fire started. At first it didn't seem too bad, so he tried to contain it. "I was trying to do anything I could to put it out, that's what was going through my mind," he said. And while Jason battled to save his home, his wife Heather grabbed their three month old son and made it outside. He assumed their 1-year-old daughter Samara was with them.
But, turns out the little girl was with another member of the family. "He grabbed the back of the diaper with his teeth going through the diaper and didn't even touch her, and pulled her into the living room," said Jason.
Jason scooped up Samara and then holding his daughter tight, watched as their home burned. Nothing was able to be saved, but Jason has his wife, and two kids and a dog, he's says he's indebted to. He's already got his kids names tattooed on his body, and says the family pet might be next. "I wasn't gonna but I think I will, he's a part of the family now," said Jason.
