Dog saves family from fire blamed on cat
Wed Oct 10, 10:00 PM ET
GREENVILLE, Maine - Thumper, a black Labrador retriever, is getting
credit for saving a Greenville man when a fire swept through his
home.
Roland Cote said his wife and their 7-year-old grandson were away
when the blaze started early Sunday in a converted two-story
garage. He said Thumper grabbed him by the arm to wake him, leaving
just enough time for him to dial 911 before fleeing the fast-moving
fire.
While the dog is the hero, a cat is the bad guy in this
story.
Cote said the fire marshal investigator believes the blaze was
started when Princess, the family cat, tipped over a kerosene
lantern. Cote says he and his pets escaped safely, but he says
Princess did get her tail singed by the flames.
