Jordan Dashwood was only 3 years old and had an energy his grandmother describes as a bubble of joy. He lived in Melbourne, Australia, and adored his two dogs with that absolute devotion that exists only between young children and their pets.
On Saturday night, a fire engulfed his home. Firefighters battled the flames for more than an hour, but when it was all over, they found Jordan dead. Beside him were his two dogs, who never left his side. Not even when the fire was consuming everything.
His father, Jeremy, 40, tried to go back inside to save him, but he was unable to find him and ended up hospitalized with severe burns. 💔
