I would have done the same thing - I couldn't live with myself if I knew my pets were inside suffering while I was safe.

This was just on the other side of town from me and brings back a memory of my Grandparents' fire. Everyone got out, but one of the big dogs, Tramp, went back in and didn't survive.

That is really heartbreaking.. I don't know if I could bear the thought of leaving a beloved pet inside, but the thought of that family losing their father as well.. It just breaks my heart.
