A 6-year-old black Labrador became an unlikely hero after warning its owners鈥攁 family of four鈥攖hat their house was on fire, giving them enough time to escape.
A house in California, USA, caught fire around midnight last Oct. 21 while the dog Maggie鈥檚 family was asleep inside, as per the Vacaville Police Department鈥檚 post on Facebook on the same day.
As the dog started to notice the flames, she began to make 鈥渁s much noise as she could by running, barking and growling.鈥�
Thanks to the dog鈥檚 efforts, the family鈥檚 mother, who was unidentified in the post, woke up and felt the heat coming from the fire. The police also noted that 鈥渢he sound of a cracking window rang through the house.鈥�
The mother, with Maggie, then helped get the rest of her family outside of the home before the situation got worse.
Meanwhile, authorities arrived on the scene moments after responding to 911 emergency calls about the burning house from neighbors.
After investigation, police believe that the fire was simply an accident and dismissed arson as a possible reason for the tragedy.聽 / ra
