The fires traveled so quickly and unexpectedly that many people were caught unaware when the fires began to bear down on their own homes. People who thought that they were safe were suddenly faced with getting out of their homes as fast as they could, sometimes just barely.
Leaving that quickly meant people had to leave behind things that were incredibly important, just to save their own lives. Sometimes, people were forced to leave a beloved family pet in order to save themselves. Having to make such a decision is unimaginably devastating and I can’t imagine having to make this quick decision.
The Weaver family of Santa Rosa faced that tragedy. When the fires took their home, they were sure that Izzy, their Bernese Mountain Dog, perished in the fire. Jack Weaver and his brother-in-law returned to the home as soon as they could, hoping to find the dog and anything else that could be salvaged. Jack took on this heavy responsibility so that his mother would not have to find Izzy’s body.
Jack recorded their search through the rubble and his extraordinary video captures the exact moment when Izzy appears from the ash and rubble — completely safe and sound.
Somehow, Izzy kept herself safe and the unharmed dog is just as happy to see them as they are to see her.
“It was one of the greatest moments of my life,” Jack said.
