Roland and his daughter Ariel Hendel live, with their dog Odin, in a part of Northern California that was recently hit with a devastating wildfire. When the Hendel's realized that the fire was on its way they hurried to do everything they could to get themselves and their animals out alive.

So Roland tried to load up their two dogs.

So they tearfully had to leave them to escape the fires. They all but knew that they would lose their goats and Odin in the fire. So they braced themselves when it was finally safe to return.

As they got closer they were stunned to see that Odin was still alive and protecting the goats. Survival had clearly taken its toll on Odin but the fact that he and the goats were alive is a miracle! Now, this amazing animal is getting the thanks he deserves. This is so incredible! Source: Little Things
