Hero Dog Saves Teenagers

Posted by Charla Dawson Jan 6, 2008

We've all heard stories about dogs who risk their lives to save their owner. Few of us have actually experienced that kind of loyalty, but Christopher Peebles has. Christopher is a teenager from Portage, Indiana. His dog, Laney, saved his life, and the lives of his friends on January 4, 2008.

Laney, a Labrador mix, saved the life of her young owner and his friends last week. The teenagers were sleeping in the basement of their home when a fire broke out. The dog bit Christopher Peebles, to wake him up, and then led the teenagers up the basement stairs. The fire started in the garage and spread through the attic. Firefighters arrived and were able to put out the flames. The teenagers credit Laney for saving their lives. Laney was later seen by her veterinarian who gave her a clean bill of health.
