Pit bull hailed hero after saving family from house fire: 'I owe her everything'

An 8-month-old pit bull in California is being hailed a hero after she alerted her family of a fire in their apartment complex – and then saved their 7-month-old daughter by pulling her by her diaper.

When flames broke out at the apparent complex where Nana Chaichanhda lives in Stockton, Calif., her pup Sasha, who was outside, quickly jumped to action, and “began to bang on the back door.”

"I open it and she runs in and starts barking at me like crazy and I was like, 'OK, this is weird. This is not like her,'” Chaichanhda told FOX40.

After seeing the flames begin to ravage part of the apartment complex, Chaichanhda went to get her 7-month-old daughter. When she entered the room, however, Sasha was already trying save the young girl.


“She had already had my baby by the diaper and was dragging her off the bed," she told FOX40. "I was like, 'Oh my gosh, what are you doing?'"

Thanks to Sasha, the family made it out of the apartment unharmed. But the damage from the fire has left Chaichanhda’s apartment uninhabitable, according to FOX40

For the time being, Chaichanhda, her baby, Sasha, as well as her cousin whose apartment was also impacted by the flames, are staying with an aunt who also lives in part of the complex that was not affected by the fire.

The Stockton Fire Department told FOX40 that they are still investigating the cause of the fire.

"It meant a lot. I owe her everything,” Chaichanhda said of Sasha. “If it wasn’t for her, I would have still been in bed and things could have taken a worse turn.”

A cat would have buggered off without giving the family a second glance.

Dogs rule

The dog was outside. If they had a fenced in yard, they could have jumped or dug out. Many dogs can do this, but they dont find out until they attempt it. Thats why I dont leave mine out if there is a storm or excessive noise. We had a small rat terrier once that used to jump fence regularly to chase ppl in the street once prey drive kicked in and she figured out she could climb it. And other escape artists.. we had a pack of 9-12 on my family's farm in my late teens

Anyway the dog ran in to grab the baby so I dont think it is just self-concern. Pack mentality is strong and they will do things to assist the other if they think the pack is in trouble. On the other hand, an animal with aggression can be dangerously defensive of their pack... pit bulls are known for being very loyal to the family, though some dogs might not be happy to a young new addition to the pack if not introduced properly... in this case, obviously the child is considered to be a pack-member.... was my first thought.
