After sprinting into a blazing shelter, a homeless person was regarded as a “guardian angel.”
Keith Walker put his life on the line to save the Six dogs and Ten cats who were discovered following a kitchen fire at the Atlanta rescue center. On December 18, the 53-year-old, who has been homeless since he was 13, rushed to the WUnderdogs shelter to save the pets.
“I’m not going to lie, I was quite nervous.” With all that smoke, he was terrified to enter. “However, God sent me over to save these pets,” Keith explained to CNN.
“You can love anybody in the world if you admire a pup.” “I knew I had to help all these other dogs since my dog is my closest buddy and I wouldn’t be here without him.”
The fire rendered the WUnderdogs unusable, said to shelter founder Gracie Hamlin. Keith, she claimed, was not afraid when he rescued the pets.
“Even the firefighters were apprehensive about dealing with the dogs. They phoned Animal Control, but Keith was already inside the building, removing the cats and dogs until everybody was safe, according to Gracie.
Gracie already knew Keith, whom she refers to as her “guardian angel,” because she lets him get his own pit bull named Bravo each night at the shelter.
When Keith witnessed the fire, he was on his way to take Bravo for a walk.
‘He is my hero,’ I say.
Gracie expressed her gratitude by saying, “I can’t thank you enough for protecting my animals.” “I can’t believe it because I’ve been around a fire before and know how quickly they can ignite.” “He is a hero of mine.”
Luckily, the shelter was only a week away from relocating the pets to a new location.
Gracie said, “He is my spiritual guide.”
