Pit Bulls save the lives of two families on Thanksgiving Day

This came to me last week via Ledy VanKavage, via Jane Berkey, via Karen Delise:

In Ireland, a Staffordshire Terrier rescued his family from a fatal fire; the same thing happened, Thanksgiving day, in Kansas. What's particularly interesting in the Kansas report is the video, in which the couple talk about being uninsured, because the insurance company wouldn't give coverage after they decided on a pit bull as the family pet.
