An unexpected hero is being credited for saving two people after a fire broke out at a Maryland home on Monday.
“I mean she’s a wonderful dog, she’s very smart but I never thought I’d be in this situation,” said Diane Miller. Diane Miller said she was upstairs with her napping 14-month-old granddaughter when she heard a banging on the nursery door. It was her 8-year-old yellow lab, Molly. “Molly started hitting the door with her paw, and hitting it, and hitting it and hitting it,” Diane Miller explained.
When she opened the door, Diane Miller smelled smoke.
“I looked and the smoke was pouring out of the floor and the side of the house,” Diane Miller said. “Molly went downstairs to our next level. I went down with the baby, I put [Molly’s] collar on and she was pulling us outside. She kept pulling as hard as she could to get us out the sliding glass door.”
