Talk as much smack as you want about the Post Office and how dysfunctional they are . . . but this is badass.

 

 

Jo Amerson is a postal worker in Evans City, Pennsylvania.  (--Jo's age wasn't given . . . she looks like she's about 30.  Evans City is 35 miles north of Pittsburgh.)     

 

 

--And on Friday, she was making the rounds when she noticed flames coming from a house along her route.  So she sprang into action.

 

 

--First she broke out some windows, to make sure no one was trapped inside.  And it seemed like no one was home.

 

 

--It turns out a mother and her three-year-old daughter had JUST left for a doctor's appointment before the fire began.  But Diesel, the family dog, was lying unconscious on the floor.

 

 

--So Jo went INTO the burning house, pulled Diesel out, gave him CPR to get him breathing again, and saved his life.  She said, quote, "It's all in a day's work.  I did what everyone would do.  It's a life."
