Anandaveli, an 8-month-old puppy that awoke in the middle of the night due to the scent of burning, saved a family of five.
The Malaysian dog saved his family from impending danger by rousing them up and informing them of an impending fire.
Dogs are loyal guardians of any home, and their first instinct is to defend the family.
It all happened around 5 a.m. in morning.
The puppy was awakened by the strong odor of smoke while the rest of the family was sleeping.
The fire began to spread at an alarming rate. The faithful dog then chose to warn the family that something dreadful was about to happen.
The devoted dog attempted to awaken the 53-year-old mother of three, but she did not respond at first since she couldn’t see what was wrong.
When the hostess did not reply to the dog’s barking, he proceeded to tug her hair and ear and even gnawed at her nightgown.
The owner initially assumed that the dog wanted to drink or go outdoors, but when she awoke, she saw that the family altar was on fire.
The dog provided the owners enough time to gather the money and documents and flee the house.
The entire family was appreciative of the dog’s bravery. Anandaveli received quick medical attention after suffering a few minor burns.
The local community has started a fundraising campaign to compensate for the damages and costs of rebuilding the house.
The family vowed to donate any excess funds to local animal shelters.
