Last week I had the story of a cat rescued by the rescue squad and today we have the story of a dog rescuing the rescuers (I'm not sure that's a word...). From KMBC (Kansas City TV):
A family dog saved its owner's life Tuesday night.As a 911 dispatcher for Riverside, Lou Sill spends his days helping others in trouble. But it was Sill's dog, Princess, who saved his life when his house caught fire at Northwest 56th Street and North Colrain Avenue.
Sill told KMBC he was asleep and didn't hear the smoke detector alarm. Instead, his collie woke him up.
"She was clawing at me and barking and howling, licking me. I had taken some cold medicine. She woke me up, I'm thankful she did," Sill said.
Sill's wife and daughter were not home at the time.
Wednesday, Princess was honored for her life-saving efforts by Wayside Waifs.
Investigators believe embers in the basement fireplace sparked the blaze.
