Having a loyal friend who will never leave your side is one of the best feelings in this world. However, to several individuals, they find this companionship not in fellow humans but rather pets, particularly dogs.

Further research into this amazing phenomenon has concluded that the relationship between dogs and their owners is akin to the bond shared between parents and their children, with both sides having a strong influence on one another.

It wasn't much of a hassle proving this as there are several stories that have shown the stout connection between pets and their owners.

Into the flames

Jose Guzman was attending a barbeque at his parents', accompanied by his wife and three daughters, when he received a call that alerted him that his neighbourhood was on fire.

Af first, he was sure it wasn't his house, as they had only left a while ago, but he saw otherwise when he arrived at the scene.

The fire, although it hadn't started in his place, had affected his home and he realized that it had overwhelmed the firefighters.

They needed more support. However, the family dog, a blue nose 2-year-old pitbull named Gabanna, was still inside, and it was then that Jose made the brave decision

Adam, who is Jose’s landlord’s son-in-law, managed to capture the whole incident on camera, and described the experience as ‘very emotional.’ He didn't expect Jose to make it out as the fire was intense.

Although the pair suffered minor burns, both Jose and Gabanna would be alright thanks to his bravery.

While speaking to PEOPLE Jose's family members revealed that they weren't surprised by his actions, as he was a very selfless person.

The family lost their house entirely to the fire as well as a few other things. A GoFundMe page has been created to help support them.
