Hero Dog Saves Owner, Loses Own Life


Duncan Dunn died a hero.  His dad, Scott Dunn, fell asleep on the couch Monday night.  Around 3:30 a.m., Duncan, a 4-year-old Boxer, awakened Scott.  "He was poking at me and barking," said Dunn. "Normally, that means he needs to go out, but when I woke up, I couldn't see because there was smoke."

Dunn quickly dressed and ran outside, grabbing Duncan by the collar as he headed for his truck.  It was only when he reached his truck that he realized  he held an empty collar - Duncan was not there. Firefighters later found Duncan curled up on Dunn's bed.

Scott Dunn's home was destroyed in the blaze. 

Firefighters helped Scott bury Duncan.  Several of them wept.
