Hero Pet Rabbit Saves Family

[Faline]

A pet rabbit is being credited for saving its owners from a house fire in south eastern Alaska before it died of smoke inhalation.
The rabbit woke up the homeowner in Anchorage, Alaska, early on Tuesday morning by scratching on her chest, the Ketchikan Fire Department said in a statement.
The homeowner realized that the house was full of smoke, woke up her daughter and fled the house.

The fire was brought under control fairly quickly, with four engines, a ladder truck and 33 firefighters responding.
Damage to the house from flames, smoke and water was considered moderate.

While there were no injuries to the mother or daughter, the rabbit was not so lucky.
The animal succumbed to smoke inhalation and did not survive, the fire department said.

I really hope they didn't just run out of the house and leave the rabbit.
