Dog Awakes Owner to Fire in Heater

A lady that had falling asleep on the couch in the living room was awaken to heavy smoke when her kerosene heater malfunctioned and began to burn improperly. The alarm that woke her up was the family dog and not the smoke detector. The detector in the house did not work. The occupant was extremely lucky that she was able to get up with the amount of smoke that was in the structure. I guess there's more than one person watching over us.
