I was reading about this story in a book called "Animal Miracles":

Pet Pig Awakens New Jersey Couple to Fire RAMSEY, N.J., Feb 2 (Reuters)

- A potbellied pig named Honeymoon came to the rescue of a New Jersey couple on Monday, waking them to warn of a fire in their home . Flames broke out about 8 a.m. EST (1300 GMT) in the laundry room of the home of Pam and Fred Abma in Ramsey, New Jersey, Pam Abma said.

The couple was asleep, but the persistent pig scratched at their bedroom door until they awoke, she said. ``That little pig saved our lives,'' she said. ``Our two dogs just slept through the whole thing."

I didn't post this "In the News" because it's an old story.

Those two sleeping dogs should be ashamed of themselves... :brood:

It's not the dogs fault. They just aren't as smart as pigs, lol. From the story:

The fire was quickly put out by the local fire department. ``Pigs are a
lot smarter than dogs, clearly,'' said Fred Abma, who owns a landscape
business. ``And it was lucky for us.''
