A Buddhist friend sent me this picture with the caption below:

"This photograph shows a red Doberman kissing an exhausted fireman. He had just saved her from a fire in her house, rescuing her by carrying her out of the house into her front yard, while he continued to fight the fire. She is pregnant. The firefighter was afraid of her at first, because he had never been around a Doberman before. When he finally got done putting the fire out, he sat down to catch his breath and rest. A photographer from the Charlotte, North Carolina newspaper, "The Observer," noticed this red Doberman in the distance looking at the fireman. He saw her walking straight toward the fireman and wondered what she was going to do. As he raised his camera, she came up to the tired man who had saved her life and the lives of her babies, and kissed him, when the photographer snapped this photograph."

Very beautiful! I'm emotionally unstable LOL...so that just made me cry happy tears! :)
p.s. And I just ADORE dobermans. Speaking of which...where the heck is Queritur sp?
 
BULL SHIT.... That is NOT a photo of a doberman being rescued by a Fireman
that is a photo of a Dobie at Ground Zero during 9/11 who rescued a firefighter.

Sorry to disappoint you all...
 
Either way, it's a very touching picture and made me smile...dog kisses are the best.
 
What a great pic and either way, it still made me smile.

Thanks for doing the research, Blue. Snopes never occurred to me for something like this. I usually go there when I get hysterical warnings forwarded to me by friends and relatives :-).

Yea..this one has been around for a while, but it still makes me smile everytime I see it. Thanks AGBF, a little lift is needed on days like today.
Oh and I know what you mean about the FWDs.
