EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a heartwarming moment that unfolded on the 11th of August, 1963. Meet Schuten, the brave Alsatian dog who became a hero by saving the lives of an entire family. In this image, we see Leslie Chandler, aged 8, and his sister Christine, aged 7, standing proudly beside their savior. The incident took place at their home in the historic Lauderdale House located in Highgate, London. It was early morning when Schuten's acute senses detected a raging fire within the house while everyone else was fast asleep. With unwavering determination and loyalty to his human companions, he quickly sprang into action. Schuten's barks woke up John Chandler, the children's father and park keeper of Lauderdale House. Realizing the imminent danger they faced, John swiftly devised a plan to ensure his family's safety. With assistance from three courageous policemen who arrived promptly at the scene after being alerted by Schuten's alarm calls. Through sheer bravery and teamwork between man and beast alike, all members of the Chandler family were successfully rescued from harm's way through a bedroom window. This remarkable photograph serves as a testament to both Schuten’s heroic nature and our enduring bond with animals. Preserved for generations to come thanks to Alisdair MacDonald’s lens capturing this extraordinary event – it is truly an awe-inspiring piece that reminds us of courage found in unexpected places.
