A Hero In My Books

My brother, one of NY's Bravest, saved a cat from a burning building yesterday. He brought the cat out, and placed it on the sidewalk (nobody wanted to take it) so he could go back into the building. The cat was breathing and moving.
A little later, an article appeared on Staten Island's news website.
This article. Wow talk about getting screwed. It's really great that the cop gave the cat mouth to mouth and received almost all the credit. Call me crazy, but if Rob didn't get the cat out, "Baby" would have been Chinese food. Sorry for being so blunt, but its true. While the article does give some credit to the firefighters, I think its still bullshit. And no, I'm not just being vocal about it because it is my brother.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the NYPD does not have a tough job and that this officer should not receive any credit, I think what she did was wonderful. I just think that in this particular situation running into a burning building, risking smoke inhalation, burns and possibly worse, is a little more heroic than risking a hair ball.
