It is said that dogs are man’s best friend. An incident happened in Lucknow that could prove that saying yet again.
In a small town of Banda in Uttar Pradesh, when a fire broke out in a building, a dog saved the lives of over 30 people residing in building at that point of time.
The dog kept barking loudly, constantly trying to alert them of the mishap that took place. Unfortunately, even though the dog saved so many lives, he got consumed by the flames of that fire itself because he was tied. It was because of the dog that everybody could manage to escape right on time but he could not because of a blast that took place post the fire broke out.
