A single dad has revealed how the family's dog may have saved their lives after alerting him to a fire in his home.
Darren McBride from Co Antrim, put laundry into his tumble drier and headed upstairs to get ready to go out with his eldest son, while his youngest stayed at home.
But shortly before they were due to leave, their dog Hollie, a Labrador Lurcher mix started barking frantically and when Darren went to find out what was upsetting her, he discovered flames and smoke billowing from the drier.
