During the incident on Wednesday at 5am, the eight-month-old puppy saved the lives of A. Vimala, 53, her 58-year-old semi paralysed husband and three children, aged between 18 and 23.

Recalling the incident to Pasir Bedamar assemblyman R.N. Terence Naidu who visited the family, Vimala said she was fast asleep in the living room of her single-storey terrace house in Eastern Garden while her husband was sleeping in the last room nearer to the kitchen.“I realised that it was my female puppy and thought she was thirsty.

“Instead of going away, it started to pull even harder at my clothes, so I immediately got up and was shocked to see the middle portion of my house on fire,” she said.She said as the fire started to rage, she realised that her husband was still inside.“Our whole house was destroyed within minutes before the firemen arrived,” she said.

Vimala’s husband N. Marimuthu said he was grateful that their puppy saved all of them in the nick of time. “The puppy is very close to my wife. She would only sleep next to her and will wait for her to come home daily,” he said.“I will help them to apply for aid from the district disaster relief fund, as well as temporary accommodation,” he said, adding that dogs are man’s best friends, so the public should be kind to animals.
