Dogs Save Woman From Fire

Here's one from the Mountain Democrat about a pair of dogs waking their owner during a fire in their home:


A woman lived to celebrate Mother's Day, thanks to the help of her two dogs.

Leslie Ganz awoke Friday afternoon to find her two dogs, "Lou" and "Eddie," licking her face. She had just fallen asleep after taking an early Mother's Day call from her daughter, who is currently serving in Afghanistan, Ganz's father Tom Snyder said.

Ganz awoke to blaring fire alarms, which had failed to shake her from sleep. She had just enough time to escape her Oak Creek Court home before it began to fill with smoke, Cameron Park Fire Chief Matt Silva estimated.

"We're treating those dogs with honors," Snyder said.


Once again, man's and woman's best friends come to the rescue. She must be a heavy sleeper though if the fire alarms didn't wake her...
