A three-year-old pit bull named Marley is credited with saving a little girl in Alaska from a house fire in early December.
Marley, a black and white dog who looks like Pete from the Little Rascals television show, grabbed the back of six-year-old Autumn Marley's jacket to drag her out of the burning house.
Autumn alerted her mother who was cooking dinner that the entryway to the house was on fire. Julie Marley then forced open a seldom used back door so she and her two daughters could escape the fire.
As Ms. Marley left the house she turned to see Marley the dog pulling Autumn through the door to safety.
Jennifer Ingram, Marley's guardian, said that, "She's always been an awesome dog, but I didn't know she was capable of doing this." Ingram has raised Marley from a puppy.
Ms. Ingram was out shopping for Christmas presents when the fire broke out and arrived home to find Marley running loose in the midst of all the firefighters and bystanders.
She planned to take Marley to the vet to treat frostbite on her feet from being out in the snow.
Thanks to Autumn and Marley no one was injured in the fire, although the house was a total loss.
The Red Cross set up a place for the Marley family to stay, while Ms. Ingram and Marley the dog are staying with a friend.

"In mentioning the gameness of the Staffordshire, it is not the intention to tag him as a fighting machine, or to praise this characteristic. These points are discussed because they are necessary in giving the correct origin and history of the breed. The good qualities of the dogs are many, and it would be difficult for anyone to overstress them."

This isnt the first case. There are a lot of stories about "Pitbulls"saving lives. The police in new mexico are switching over to american pitbull terriers to use as drug dogs. My american pitbull has an excellent sniffer and has dug up many odd things. Best yet is a $50 bill he found in the snow lol. But no, your story here is one of many out there.
Busters just sore bcuz his beagle breeds are known for small game hunting and getting lost. Beagle and a basset hound are 2 of the dumbest dogs out there. Besides a dalmation.
I anticipated that you anticipated that I anticipated your anticipation

It proves that an owner of the Pit Bull had exactly no ideaabout dogs.
But yet her Pit Bull came out "A ok".
say what ? This story proves the owner had no idea what kind of dog she had ( equals irresponsible owner ) and her dog didn't come out okay - it needed treatment for frostbite ?
good gawd ........... that story has more holes than swiss
Pit Bull saves little girl.
