He was saved from a shelter in 2003 and was spending his time peacefully in the company of his human in Philadelphia, when a violent fire broke out in their house on the evening of October 23. The neighbors, alerted by Che's barking - who was normally very calm - immediately called the fire brigade after having noticed the house was on fire.
