LINN COUNTY, Iowa — An Iowa family escaping a house fire was forced to leave their 9-week-old kitten behind, but thanks to the efforts of a courageous police deputy, the family’s 11-year-old boy was reunited with his treasured pet.

Meet Wuzzy, a kitten that Parker Rawson has a hard time letting go of now, especially after what happened last week. “We heard a pop, got downstairs and heard the smoke alarms go off,” he said. “And we started running.”

Parker, his mom and his 2-year-old sister beat the flames out. Yet Parker has two cats and a dog, and we all know the bond between children and pets.
