Cat Saves Family—and Dog
January 16th 2007
Shadow is credited with saving Karen and her two young sons—as well as
the family dog, Duke—on the night of January 16 last year. The cat's
loud meowing woke Karen, who was sleeping in the basement bedroom.
Feeling nauseous and disoriented, and realizing something was
terribly wrong, Karen called 911 and then got everyone out of the
house. They were suffering from carbon monoxide exposure and were
treated at a nearby hospital. Firefighters detected CO levels as high
as 300 parts per million at the residence (resulting from a faulty
furnace), a situation that could have ended in tragedy but for
Shadow's persistent warnings.
