Dogs stand guard at shop throughout fire

Dogs are truly a man’s best friend. Ask tailor Teo Siang Boo.

Two of his dogs, Blacky and Tommy, refused to leave even when fire was about to engulf his shop in George Town, Malaysia.



“Luckily, they were not overwhelmed by the smoke. They were also not injured when I found them hiding under the toilet basin.

“Firemen and neighbours had earlier tried to coax the dogs out but they refused to leave and instead continued to guard the premises,” he said. Teo’s shop was one of three destroyed during the fire.
