Fire in the Building!

Last Sunday, there was a fire in the apartment building, we are all living.
I quickly grabbed dogs and tried to go down with them, but it wasn't as simple as you can think.
Elevators were busy, we are on the 7th floor, time was running, no choice left I had to take stairs.
My dogs weren't trained to use stairs, they could do a couple steps, but not entire floors...

People were running down fast, there was laud, dogs got disoriented and nervous. I had no choice, I somehow grabbed 22lb Angie on the left and more than 30lb Buddy on the right, and through the smoke managed to get downstairs. It wasn't easy with 2 dogs, I was slower but we made it sound and safe.

When we came out from the building, there was our neighbors and teams of firefighters doing their job. I realized how lucky I was and made a decision, that I have to teach dogs to walk on stairs- it's never too late! I'm sharing that story with you because you never know what's gonna happen in life and in such a situation we are responsible for our pets.
