Saved by the Dog

In the small village of Hällefors, not so far north of our home city, a house caught fire tonight. The couple who lived in the house could save themselves, because their dog pushed on the woman until she woke up, and then she woke her husband. They were also able to save another man who lived in their house.

The house burned to the ground. It is yet not known what caused the fire. It is clear, though, that without the dog waking up the woman, the three humans in the house could not have survived. This is yet another example of how important dogs are to humans.

I would be surprised if this dog would not get generous amounts of hugging, petting, and candy today. The dog is surely the hero of the day in the whole village.
