EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a heartwarming moment that forever etched itself into the McCutcheon family's history. Meet Beast, the brave Alsatian who became their guardian angel on that fateful day in December 1984. As flames mercilessly engulfed their Gateshead home, this courageous canine sprang into action, saving his beloved family from certain death. In this snapshot frozen in time, Beast sits proudly in the family's living room, embodying strength and loyalty. His piercing eyes reflect both determination and gratitude for having fulfilled his duty as protector. The posed composition accentuates his heroic stature while conveying a sense of calm amidst chaos. The story behind this image unfolds with Ian and Sheila McCutcheon peacefully asleep until Beast's urgent whines broke through their slumber. Sensing imminent danger, he persistently nudged Sheila until she woke up to find their home consumed by fire. Thanks to Beast's unwavering attention and quick thinking, they were able to escape unharmed. This photograph serves as a testament not only to the remarkable bond between humans and animals but also to the selflessness of our four-legged companions. It reminds us that heroes come in all shapes and sizes – sometimes even covered in fur. As we gaze upon this powerful image captured by Mirrorpix on that significant day decades ago, let it serve as a reminder of the extraordinary acts of bravery displayed by our loyal animal friends throughout history – reminding us all of what true heroism looks like.
