Nick Wilson was in the right place at the right time Tuesday morning.
The Munroe Dairy employee delivery driver was making his usual rounds when he saw smoke pouring from a home on Melissa Circle.
Wilson didn’t think twice upon realizing that his customers weren’t home and their dog was trapped inside.
“We checked doors and windows trying to get in,” Wilson recalled. “We went around to the back and I just used a big potted plant … I threw it through the window.”
Since Wilson regularly delivers to the home, the dog knew who he was.
“She knows me,” Wilson said. “I give her dog treats every week.”“For us as milkmen, we establish relationships more with dogs than people, because we see more dogs than humans,” he explained.
Wilson eventually found the dog, named Daisy, and carried her to safety.
