A few weeks ago I was watching TV and nodded off on the couch. My dog, who never bothers me when I'm sleeping, kept pawing at me and barking. I put her down on the floor and she hopped back up. I finally got fed up and got up to go into the kitchen for a drink.

She was a step ahead of me the whole way and was still acting strange. When I turned the corner into the kitchen I smelled gas. Somehow one of the burners had been left on just a bit and was slowly leaking natural gas into the house.

I think you'll all agree my Min Pin Maddy is a hero.

Thank God Maddy was with you. Our pets are are put in our lives to either teach us something or help us through difficult times in our lives or save our lives. They are our guardian angels sent by God. We had a German shepherd She only lived 5 yrs. But she was put in my life to get me through a difficult time in my life. I had clinical depression. I thought about suicide every day. but then I would think who would take care of her when I died. Then i would think I would take her life then I wouldn't have to worry if she was taken care of. But I would look into her eyes and i knew I couldn't do it. So i suffered with my depression until i got medical help. she was there all the time for me. Then when she got cancer I had to make the decision to end her life. That hurt my heart. It left a hole in my heart that has never healed. i will never forget what she did for me. She was my hero.
