Jackson, a Newfoundland, pictured here with two Suffolk County, New York firefighters, used his innate smarts to survive a house fire by putting his snout in the drainpipe of the bathtub and waiting it out until he was rescued. Because he likes to chill out in the bathtub when the weather is warm, it was the natural place for him to go when things started heating up. That he figured out to get fresh air via the drainpipe even impressed the firefighters - Vince Egbert and Edgar Trejo had 10 minutes to go in and find the dog. They pulled aside a shower curtain and found him "actually sucking air out of the drainpipe, which is an old-school thing that a fireman would do," Egbert said."That's what really saved him, was getting his snout as low as he could and finding the drainpipe."
The house has severe damage, and Jackson was the last resident to leave the house. All are safe.
