The persistent barking of a dog literally ‘saved’ a building in Agrinio when fire broke out in one of the apartments. According to local media agriniopress, the fire broke out in the kitchen on an apartment, most probably due to the kitchen stove. However the building was on a side road and it wasn’t easy for passers-by to see the smoke. There was no resident in the apartment but the little dog. Sensing the danger, he started to bark loud and persistent until neighbors from nearby buildings saw thick black smoke coming from the flat.
They immediately alerted the firebrigades, who rushed to the scene with two vehicles and six men. The firefighters were able to extinguished the fire quickly and take the little hero into a safe place. A neighbors’ yard.
When the owner of the apartment and the dog arrived on the spot, she felt kind of sick and was transferred to a nearby hospital.
The hero dog is awaiting at the neighbor’s until everything comes back to normal.
