Dog Fights for Life After Fire

The community is pulling together after Jake the dog was hurt in a fire at the Kwik Kar in Bedford Tuesday.

That wagging tail is a sight Vernon and Mary Dede have been waiting for.

"Very pleased," said Vernon Dede shortly after we showed up at his house. "It's a huge load off both of our minds (to have him home). I think he's happier. We're happier."

The four-year old lab, possible Great Dane mix, inhaled a lot of smoke in Tuesday's fire at the Kwik Kar Lube and Tune in Bedford which the Dedes own. Despite life-saving efforts by firefighters, for a while there Vernon and Mary Dede weren't sure Jake was going to be able to hang on.

Jake looks great. He wasn't burned, but he's still got a ways to go on his road to recovery. He's on antibiotics, pain killers and has to go to the vet twice a day for breathing treatments but at least he's home.

"When he came home he went right back to his dog kennel which is his safe place and we fixed him dinner and he ate dinner right away which was a great sign," said Mary Dede. "And we gave him his medicine and he went back to bed and just having him there in the house just made everything kind of right again."

The Dedes weren't looking for a dog when Jake found the Dedes four years ago. Just as they son was heading off to college, Jake the puppy showed up under Vernon's car at a lakehouse. Vernon brought him home and Jake became a family member instantly.
