CARTER LAKE, Iowa --Bryan Smith has pictures of his dog in his coat pocket, a reminder of the pet that sacrificed itself to save him from his burning house.
more stories like this. It was Tuesday night when Storm jumped on the slumbering Smith and alerted him to the growing smoke and flames outside his bedroom.
Smith says he grabbed his curtains, wet them for a mask and grabbed his puppy Daisy while the older dog ran ahead.
It was the last time Smith saw Storm.
The man ran to a neighbor's home to call the Fire Department and noticed too late that Storm had not escaped.

"Smith recalls the time he met Storm seven years ago, when he rescued the dog from owners who he says were feeding her peroxide. Smith says that memory may best explain why Storm gave up her life to alert him of the fire."
Rescue dogs will forever have that bond and trust with their owners.
What a sad story...but at the same time the dog saved his life... I'm glad he was able to hold on to pics of her.
