Growing up in Australia, bush fires are as unfortunately common to the summer season as sunscreen and water hoses.
As a matter of fact, my grandmother just sent me a hand written letter where she told me about a time growing up when her family almost lost their home during bush fires. They did lose something like 40+ chickens and several little buildings.
Here is a photo of poor little Charlie, whom endured burns to over 50 percent of his little pug body from the current Dunalley bush fires.
Veterinary Surgeon Gareth Stephensen from the Tasmanian Animal Hospital in Hobart is seen here caring for him. A hero, in my book.
Praying for all those affected by fires in my home land.
