Woman returns home one month after Camp Fire to find pet dog patiently waiting for her and guarding her property
The Camp Fire in California claimed the lives of 86 civilians and destroyed close to 19,000 structures resulting in damage estimated to be $10 billion, which is what makes the heartwarming story told by Andrea Gaylord all the more special. When she came back to her home one month after the fire claimed the town, she found one of her dogs waiting patiently for her, guarding her property.
According to ABC10, Gaylord was one of the thousands of homeowners who had to evacuate Paradise when Camp Fire threatened to raze the town. However, she was unable to rescue her two dogs, Madison, an Anatolian shepherd, and his brother Miguel. Strict evacuation orders meant she was not allowed to go back to her residence to search for the dogs, but despite weeks passing by, she never gave up the hope that they would be alive and well.
