Heroic dogs in the face of house fires

Posted on April 21, 2012 | Leave a comment

Our local newspaper ran a story recently about a little dog that woke her owners when their garage caught fire. Luckily, the damage was fairly minor and all (including the dog) escaped harm.

It was that story that got me thinking about all of the stories we hear, year in and year out, about dogs that act instinctively to warn their owners of danger or to get help. Here’s just a few dog hero stories that I’d like to share about dogs who have saved their owners or alerted others about fires.
