Even the trained firefighters on the scene were hesitating. But Keith Walker did not even pause for a second. On the morning of December 18th, 2020, Keith Walker, a then 53-year-old man living on the streets of Atlanta, Georgia, was simply walking over to the W-Underdogs animal shelter to pick up his beloved pit bull Bravo for their daily morning walk.
As he approached the building, he was horrified to spot thick smoke pouring out from underneath the front door. An electrical fire had broken out earlier that morning inside the shelter’s small kitchen, and the entire building was already filling with dangerous smoke. While the responding firefighters were busy carefully calling animal control for additional help, Walker simply popped open the front door and rushed straight into the burning building all by himself.
