Quick summary: This story highlights recent developments related to fires, showing how constructive action can lead to meaningful results.
From a New Zealand outlet comes the story of a man who saved a dog from the pound, and the dog who saved him from perishing in a house fire.
Even though her new forever home has turned to ashes, Hazel the dog managed to save the only thing that really mattered: a life.
With a well-placed bite she woke her sleeping owner who found to his surprise that his house was on fire.
The incident occurred in Whakatāne last Friday. Locals told Stuff that the blaze grew beyond anyone’s ability to control faster than any had imagined. Firefighters had been called early on, but for Hazel the dog, it wasn’t soon enough.
Hazel, who had been surrendered by two previous owners, was still only 9 months old at the time, and she wasn’t willing to let it be 3 from 3. Hazel woke him up in time to escape with only a case of smoke inhalation.
“His dog actually bit him and woke him up. If his dog wasn’t there, he wouldn’t be here,” Christina Eichler, the home’s property manager, told Stuff.
Dora Motateanu from JDC Rescue where Hazel was living, said the tenant’s decision to adopt Hazel had definitely saved her life, and that now she had returned the favor.

“That’s amazing,” she said. “I mean this is why we do this, for those moments when we see dogs finding their families.”
“Despite the unfortunate circumstances she has faced, she remains the most gentle and loving girl you could ever meet,” JDC Rescue wrote online just last week before the man came to adopt Hazel, who was described as a “genuine treasure.”
“After being rescued as a small puppy, her hopes were high when she found a new home, only to be devastated once again when her owner decided to make a lifestyle change and dumped her.”
