Dachshund Heroism: Wiener Dog Saves Family From House Fire
Our Dachshunds, Our Heroes: Pretty black and tan longhair 'Fancy' is the latest Dachshund to join our elite list of Dachshund Heroes. The Kanawha County, West Virginia girl began barking as flames swept through the attic of her sleeping family's home:
"She just kept barking and I got up and come in there and she was looking up at the attic where we have the ladder and kept barking," said Virginia Falls, Fancy's owner. "I walked up the ladder and when I pushed the thing up to look, the whole attic was engulfed in flames."
The father, mother and two children got out safely, but the parents suffered minor burns and smoke inhalation.
Emergency crews had a tough time getting to the scene because of icy roads. The house was a total loss.
Way to go Fancy! Via KABC-TV.
Mom came into work this morning and the first thing someone said to her was, "Did you hear about the dachshund who saved the family?" So Mom searched for it and up came our friends Maggie and Joey's page! Monty thinks Fancy is beautiful, but he's a bit narcissistic.
