Loyal dog Martha, who was found next to her dead owner, has been adopted by firefighter James Trounson
James was called to the scene, helped police and medics gain entry to the property and was touched by Martha’s sad look
There, he discovered eight-year-old terrier Martha shivering and forlorn beside the woman.
James — in a crew from Helston Community Fire Station in Cornwall called to the house in Breage — was touched by the dog’s sad look.
He asked if he could look after the hound and then adopted her after RSPCA checks.
James, a builder by trade, said: “She comes with me everywhere.
“We already have a collie called Merlin and we were looking for a mate for him.
“We took her home and gave her a good bath.”
He added: “She’s got a complete new life now.
“She sleeps on the bed at night with Millie the cat.”
