Alfie the dog is being called a local Philadelphia hero after stopping his owner's two-year-old son from falling off of the family's roof in the middle of the night. The toddler apparently outsmarted his parents and moved away the impenetrable playpen they put in front of the broken window in his room before pulling himself up onto the roof.
The family pooch followed him up and was seen by neighbors running along the edge of the roof, moving with the baby to stop him from taking the plunge, barking his head off the whole time.
?I saw a baby running across the window, then I said that can?t be true, but then I saw a dog,? said neighbor Tina Mitchell.
No charges will be filed against the parents for neglect or anything else, mostly because they admitted their mistake at keeping a baby in a room with an obviously broken window. And there had better be some extra kibble for Alfie at dinner tonight, or else next time the kid might not be so lucky...
