A dog who survived the catastrophic fire of northern California apparently protected the ruins of his home for nearly a month until his mistress returned.
Madison was there waiting for Andrea Gaylord to be allowed to return home to Paradise on Friday (7).
Gaylord was away from home and had to flee without being able to return to his dogs when the November 8 fire broke out and decimated the town of 27,000.
Madison is spotted among the ruins of her owner's house in Paradise, California , Friday. A few days after Madison was first seen by Shayla Sullivan, an animal protector Gaylord had contacted and asked to look for her dogs, two Anatolian shepherd mongrels. .
Shayla Sullivan said that the watchdog was worried and kept out. Sullivan regularly left him food and water until Gaylord could come back. The protector also helped locate Madison's brother, Miguel, who was taken to a shelter 135 km away in the aftermath of the fire.
"If (the evacuees) can not be here, I stay and I will not give up their animals until they can come back," Sullivan said.
The dogs met on Friday when Gaylord returned to the estate with Miguel and brought Madison his favorite snack: a packet of cookies.
Gaylord told the ABC10 television channel that she could not ask for a better animal.
"Imagine the loyalty of staying in the worst circumstances and staying here waiting," she said.
"Their instinctive job is to take care of the flocks and we are part of it," Gaylord said of his dogs. "It's comforting."
