Dog Takes Responsibility Over Flock

Six rare sheep, irreplaceable guitars and a lifetime of memories were destroyed Thursday in an early-morning barn fire a mile northeast of Carnation. Eleven fire units from Eastside Fire & Rescue, Fall City, Duvall and Redmond responded to the blaze that was first seen about 4:30 a.m. by a motorist driving along Highway 203.

Homeowner Diane Pagel credits their Great Pyrenees guard dog, Kodiak, with saving most of her purebred flock. She had initially thought she had lost as many as 20 sheep.

"Sheep will go to where it is safe, and for them, that was the barn," she said. "But apparently Kodiak got them out. He was the last one out of the barn because hair has been burned on his back legs and back."

Amazing. This is what a good dog is all about.

Kodiak rescued the sheep. Kodiak is great dog and he is my hero. He disappeared after the fire but later in the day,
He came home and we found him sitting in the pond.

Another herding student, who is a vet, looked him at
and he did get 1st. deg burns on his back, tail and back of legs
But he went right back into the field and went right back to
work, protecting the sheep.
