Dog alerts family in time to escape fire
Published: December 11, 2006
A Rottweiler awoke a mother in time to grab her two young sons and escape from their burning house over the weekend in eastern Wisconsin.
Shawano County sheriff’s officials say the 150-pound dog, named Zeus, awoke Jennifer Brusoe at about eight-30 last night at her rented home.
Brusoe grabbed her two sons, ages five and six, and escaped.
Sheriff’s Sergeant Staber Cook says the ceiling was in flames and she grabbed her children as the ceiling collapsed in the bedrooms.
One of the children was injured from a piece of falling ceiling, but his injuries were not life threatening.
The Rottweiler and a family cat escaped and were picked up by a neighbor.
Cook says the fire may have started from an electrical overload caused by electric heaters.
