   SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A dog that survived the catastrophic   
   wildfire in Northern California apparently protected the ruins   
   of his home for almost a month until his owner returned.   
      
   Madison was there waiting when Andrea Gaylord was allowed back   
   to check on her burned property in Paradise this week.   
      
   Gaylord fled when the Nov. 8 fire broke out and decimated the   
   town of 27,000. An animal rescuer who responded to Gaylord's   
   request to check on Madison first spotted the male Anatolian   
   shepherd mix several days later.   
      
   Shayla Sullivan said the outdoor guard dog was apprehensive and   
   kept his distance. Sullivan left food and water for him   
   regularly until Gaylord got back on Wednesday. She also helped   
   locate Madison's brother Miguel, another Anatolian shepherd mix   
   that was taken to a shelter 85 miles (135 kilometers) away in   
   the confusing aftermath of the wildfire.   
      
   "If (the evacuees) can't be there I'm going to be and I'm not   
   going to give up on their animal until they can get back in,"   
   Sullivan said.   
      
   The dogs reunited Friday when Gaylord came back to the property   
   with Miguel and brought Madison his favorite treat: a box of   
   Wheat Thin crackers.   
      
   Gaylord told news station ABC10 she couldn't ask for a better   
   animal.   
      
   "Imagine the loyalty of hanging in in the worst of circumstances   
   and being here waiting," she said.   
      
   "Their instinctual job is to watch the flocks and we're part of   
   them," Gaylord said about her dogs. "It's a comforting feeling."
