A woman who rescued a dog from a shelter was amazed and overwhelmed to learn that the Siberian husky returned the favor.
Samantha Griffen might have died before the carbon monoxide detector even went off, but the husky, Luna, had other ideas.
Moving into a new house on 54th and Prestwick Sq, Marion, Indiana last June, her water heater started leaking, spilling the dangerous gas into the home.
Griffen had only adopted Luna, a now two-year-old husky, 6 months ago.
“I had a migraine, so I went into my room and was resting like I normally do and she was not going to let me sleep,” Griffin told WRTV.
“If she hadn’t gotten me outside, I would fallen asleep in here like completely fallen asleep and probably wouldn’t have woke up.”
Griffen said that Luna jumped on the bed and kept her from falling asleep until she took the dog outside, where, eventually, the CO1 detector did go off. She then got all the children out of the house as fast as possible and called her utilities company.

They in turn alerted the fire department, which arrived to find very high levels of CO1 in the house. They said the gas can sometimes evade the alarm depending on where in the house it’s placed, adding that it’s important to have them near natural gas appliances like stoves and water heaters.

Griffen got Luna as an emotional support animal to help her with her PTSD, but she never imagined the support would go as far as this.
