Watch the moment a dog saves a building from catching fire.

A dog is man's best friend!
Its presence in the home makes a huge difference.

They can read people's emotions and are wise to sometimes dealing with situations of danger when they arise.

A video has gone viral showing a dog stopping a fire.
In the video posted by X user Buitengebieden, a dog can be seen standing off to the side while a plug catches fire.
The dog watches the plug on fire and strategises how it will save the situation.
It then takes a brave step towards the plug before the fire spreads to destroy things in the room. The dog moves the plug away from other things in the room that could easily catch fire.
The dog has been hailed as a hero.
