Early Wednesday morning Twila Schwab
tried to get her dog Buster to stop
barking.Buster, a five-year-old Maltese and Shih Tzu mix
wouldn’t let Twila sleep, he just kept barking
and trying to wake her up.
An electrical fire broke out in the house. Buster
kept barking and alerted her to the fire. The fire
took her home of nine years, but her dog saved her
life. She is unharmed due to his persistent
barking.
Schwab went to sleep early last Tuesday evening. A few hours later, she thought Buster needed to go outside when he woke her a little after midnight.
“I kept telling him, no, lie down, go to sleep,” Schwab said. “He was pawing at me, jumping on my chest, barking, licking my face. He finally got me awake, and when I woke up, all I saw was smoke.”
Buster is a true hero. Our dogs have a sense
about these things and let us know. My beagle Hunter
barked and howled when my dad laid down.
He had never done this before. My dad had
become very sick. Our beagle let us know.
We got my dad to the doctor. He was ok.
My dad is no longer with us. Hunter became
his friend, because he looked out for our family.
we use to call him our little nurse.
Thank goodness Buster was persistent. His owner Twila
got out of the house, in enough time to not be
seriously injured. She came out unharmed. That’s
a really good dog.
