Mom-of-four Janet Kelley, 40, said Blue — whom she adopted 2 years ago from Detroit Dog Rescue — proved way more than a good boy when thick black smoke overwhelmed everyone in her two-family building. “He went running back into the house because he knew Chantal, my youngest was in her playpen,” Kelley“The firefighters had to chase him up — and once they got up there, they realized that was going on,” the relieved mom said of Blue leading them to her then-still trapped 1-year-old daughter.WJBKthat her real-life Lassie — a mix of a pit bull and a Labrador who spent his first year living on the street — is “very protective over all of us.
“He also loves his best friend Smokey, the family cat,” she said, seemingly without noting the cruel irony of her other surviving pet’s name.The family “lost everything,” including their home, they said in an online fundraiser that by Wednesday had raised more than $88,000.Kelley said that before donations allowed her to get a hotel room, she initially slept with her family in her van because “no dogs are allowed at a shelter.
