Bubba the Boxer raced into his owner's bedroom to alert her of the danger as smoke filled her home in Holiday, Florida.
Bubba, a Boxer, raced to his owner bedroom when her home in Holiday, Florida, began to fill up with smoke on Sunday night,Laverne said she had been fast asleep when her 100-pound pet nipped at her hand to alert her to the danger. Her iPad had caught fire while it was charging in the kitchen.
The situation was dire as Laverne, who has an incurable lung disease, relies on oxygen tanks to survive and had more than one in her home when the fire broke out. Laverne told WFLA that Bubba rushed into her bedroom like"a gorilla," adding:"He knew I was in trouble."She told WFLA that she had tried to put out the fire herself after calling Pasco County Fire Rescue for help.
She opened all the windows in her home, but was forced to go outside and wait for the fire department as both she and Bubba were struggling to breathe. Laverne said firefighters who responded to the scene told her she was incredibly lucky that Bubba woke her when he did, due to the number of highly flammable oxygen tanks in the home.
