EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming photo print, we see Darkie, a seven-year-old mongrel, who has become the lifelong friend of these four children. From left to right, we have Ernest Thurston at two years old, Joyce Mills at 14 years old, Terry Mills at seven years old, and Joanna Thurston aged three. Darkie's incredible bond with these children goes beyond mere companionship; he is their hero. When tragedy struck their home in September 1970 and fire engulfed the premises, it was Darkie who sounded the alarm and ensured their safety. With his acute senses and unwavering loyalty, he alerted them just in time for them to be carried to safety. This photograph captures not only the friendship between Darkie and the children but also serves as a testament to the extraordinary abilities that animals possess when it comes to protecting those they love. Darkie's bravery during that fateful incident solidified his place as an integral part of this family. The image transports us back to a simpler time - the 1970s - where pets were cherished members of households across Britain. It reminds us of how animals can bring joy into our lives while also serving as our protectors in times of need. As we gaze upon this touching scene frozen in time by Mirrorpix's lens, let us celebrate both human-animal friendships and recognize the profound impact they can have on our lives.
