Dogs are unwaveringly loyal and give their love unconditionally. This is certainly true of Dingbat‚ a dog who saves her entire family from a fire. Her owner‚ Albert Enriquez‚ says that he and his wife‚ Brandy‚ were sleeping when Dingbat began to bark insistently. After a while‚ the two of them got up to see if something was wrong. Still‚ they never expected this. Undoubtedly‚ Dingbat is smart to bark nonstop: The entire front porch is engulfed in flames. A heat lamp used to keep the family’s dogs warm‚ along with a car battery‚ are suspected to be the causes of the fire. GoFundMe Quickly‚ Albert‚ Brandy‚ and their daughter‚ Elizabeth‚ rushed outside. Soon‚ they realized that a very important family member was missing: Dingbat. In order to save the dog‚ Albert went right back inside — but the flames became too much. “I could feel that heat coming down on me and the flames‚” he recalls. “I fell down. I took a big whiff of the smoke‚ I started choking on the ground. I got severe burns on my back‚ my neck‚ my hands.” GoFundMe Hero Dog Saves San Antonio Family From Fire Unfortunately‚ Dingbat does not survive the fire. As the Enriquez family‚ including their other dog‚ mourn their loss‚ they’re also taking the time to be grateful for their heroic pup. Without her‚ they’re sure they would not have made it. “She let us know‚ that we were in trouble‚” Albert says. YouTube Now‚ this mourning family is seeking help with housing‚ food‚ clothing‚ and others items through GoFundMe. Plus‚ since their home goes back in their family more than 100 years‚ the Enriquez family’s dream is to rebuild. Until then‚ they’re grateful to have one another. And while they attribute their safety to Dingbat‚ they very much miss her and wish she were still with them. YouTube “I’m here to see if I can find her remains to try and giver her a proper burial. It’s just sad that she had to be the one to go‚” Albert shares‚ adding‚ “”Like I said‚ she’s (in) heaven now.” The InspireMore team sends out condolences to the Enriquez family during this difficult time.

American Idol introduced Emmy Russell to millions‚ but true country music fans were well aware of the young songstress because she already made her Grand Ole Opry debut. And she marked the milestone for Loretta Lynn’s birthday. For those who don’t know yet‚ Loretta is Emmy’s grandmother. And in life‚ she was one of Emmy’s biggest supporters. She ensured the now 25-year-old was raised around music and even helped Emmy get her foot in the door by lending her the stage during her performances. Instagram Loretta Lynn passed away on Oct. 4‚ 2022‚ at the age of 90. She was survived by four of her six children and her 25 grandchildren. She was bonded with her entire family‚ but she was particularly close with Emmy. So when Loretta’s 91st birthday came around‚ Emmy stood in the same famed wooden circle Loretta once sang in to pay tribute to her late grandmother. Emmy made her official Opry debut on April 13‚ 2023‚ which was the night before Loretta’s birthday. While playing a guitar Loretta gave Emmy on her 15th birthday‚ she performed her original song‚ Memaw’s Guitar. Loretta Lynn made her Grand Ole Opry debut on October 15‚ 1960. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Grand Ole Opry (@opry) Emmy Russell Remembers Loretta Lynn During American Idol Audition Emmy Russell also had an unofficial Opry debut shortly after her grandmother’s passing when she took the stage with Willie Nelson’s son‚ Lukas Nelson‚ to sing for Loretta Lynn’s CMT memorial broadcast. The duo sang Lay Me Down‚ which Loretta originally recorded with Willie in 2016. The duet earned Emmy Russell her first CMT Music Awards nomination. In an Instagram post ahead of her April Opry show‚ Emmy shared that she once ran from her “family heritage” because she was determined to forge her “own path.” But now she’s realizing that Loretta has and will always be a part of herself and her career‚ and she fully embraces that as she tries to make a bigger name for herself on American Idol. “I was thinking about my grandma‚” she told the judges after auditioning with her single Skinny. “But I was also like ‘Emmy‚ she’s with you and now it’s your turn. I think I’m more like her now than whenever I was trying to be like her. I’m really excited.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here. The post Did You Know?
