A doting dog owner has praised her pet after its barks saved her life when her flat caught fire. Jordan Kent, 26, said she doesn't know what would have happened if her Jack Russell Terrier Maddy hadn’t alerted her that a blaze had broken out in her bedroom.
The company accounts manager had lit some candles on a bedside table during an evening and was running a bath when six-year-old Maddy began yapping.. he decided to investigate as her pup’s bark sounded different from normal, thinking she may have left her front door open after their evening walk.
But Maddy was barking at her bedroom door, and when Jordan looked inside, she was met by a wave of smoke and flames that had quickly filled the room. She then phoned the fire services, who arrived at her rented home at 8.20pm - just four minutes later - before extinguishing the blaze.
