From Times Wire Reports
A 17-year-old German shepherd that saved his owner and three other people from a trailer fire was adopted, escaping Humane Society plans to put him to sleep.
In June, Boomer was credited with barking and nipping his owner, Tascha Haskell, her mother and others while they slept during the fire.
But the fire forced Haskell to place Boomer and his 17-year-old brother, Precious, at a Humane Society animal shelter. After reading about their plight in the local newspaper, Martha Hovsepian, 74, of Port St. Lucie, agreed to shelter them both.
