Mark Woodbury, who lives in Rutherford, New South Wales, shares his home with his partner and their large German Shepherd named Ditch. The trio enjoys spending time together, often playing games and enjoying each other’s company.
One day in June 2015, Mark quickly traveled to the store to pick up some essentials. When he returned home, he was horrified to see smoke billowing out of his house from a distance.

“The first thought that crossed my mind was to forget everything else,” Mark shared. “I would do anything to ensure my dog doesn’t suffer through a fire.”
Although Mark was devastated by losing his possessions, including his home, his top priority was saving his dog. “He wouldn’t have survived if I hadn’t gone in,” Mark stated.
Mark bravely entered the fiery kitchen to rescue his beloved pet, risking his own life. After searching the room multiple times, he finally found Ditch, who had passed out from smoke inhalation. Mark carried Ditch to safety and worked tirelessly to revive him.

Mark expressed deep affection for his loyal companion, saying, “My dog means the world to me.”
Shortly after, the fire rescue team arrived on the scene, and a paramedic took over the CPR efforts that Mark had initiated for the dog.
To try and bring Ditch back, they administered oxygen through a mask and rushed him to a nearby animal hospital.
