Helpful dog saves blind great-grandmother from burning bed


This dog's name might be Barbie, but she's one tough cookie. Rosemary Field (also an excellent name) was fast asleep in her Bristol, U.K. home when her pet Jack Russell woke her by licking her face. Being 5.45 a.m. Field tried to go back to sleep but Barbie wouldn't quit with the licking. The 72-year-old great grandmother, who is a registered blind diabetic, soon realized why — her bed was on fire after a fallen lamp had ignited her bedding and the carpet. Fortunately, thanks to Barbie's persistence, Field, her other dog Babe, her Siamese cat Tasha and budgie Joey all made it to safety.
