He had just saved her from a fire, rescuing her by carrying her out of the house and putting her safely in her front yard, while he continued to fight the fire.

She is pregnant.

The firefighter was afraid of her at first, because he had never been around a Doberman before.

When he finally got done putting the fire out, he sat down to catch his breath and rest.

A photographer from the Charlotte, N. Carolina newspaper, "The Observer," noticed this red Doberman in the distance looking at the fireman.

He watched her walk straight toward the fireman and wondered what she was going to do.

As he raised his camera, she came up to the tired man who had saved her life and the lives of her unborn babies, and kissed him, just as the photographer snapped this photograph.

And people say animals are dumb....

Most babies and animals are far more perceptive than we give them credit for being.

Yes, but it would have been a better picture if the dog spotaneously decide to bite his nose off.

Google Search plus direct qoutations yields sources (http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/gratitude.asp)

Cool picture, false story, annoying photoshop job on the quoted picture.

It sucks that people have to lie to make a good sounding story. Why can't they just be honest and leave us with an OK story, rather than being liars and leaving us with a fairey tale and a sence of being decieved?

I call animals dumb, but I will do the same for people, so it's all fair in the end.

Sorry. But if it helps, usually I'm the one who is just a wee bit too slow. ;)
