Chihuahua wakes owner, saving her from fire
A little dog named Spaz barked big enough to wake his partially deaf owner, alerting her that her mobile home in Groveland, Florida, was on fire.
Lillian Miller, 58, who had turned off her hearing aid, heard Spaz barking about 3 a.m.
She took the Chihuahua mix outside, thinking he needed to go to the bathroom, and, on her way back in, she noticed flames coming from her living room window, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
“He must have heard the fire alarm, but she couldn’t hear it because she didn’t have her hearing aids in,” said Miller’s mother, Eudora Miller.
“As far as I’m concerned, he saved her life,” Miller said.
