On New Year’s Eve a teenager escaped (逃离) a house fire, all thanks to the heroic actions of the family dog, Macho.

Nicole Evans, a mom, received a sad call while out of town, learning that her house was on a big fire. Macho, sensing danger, took action and woke up Nicole’s teenage son, Griffin, around 5:30 a.m., warning him of the fire.

“He just kept going at him and then he just gave him a light bite, a couple of them, and woke him up. And Griffin said, ‘What’s happening?’. And as soon as he turned around, there was just no doubt he had to go. He had to go quickly,” Nicole told WFLA News. “It was probably the worst experience of my life to not be with the person you love the most while something’s happening to them that you can’t do something about,” she added.

While the cause of the fire is still under investigation (调查), the family has completely lost their home. Although they lost a lot, Nicole praised the value of Macho’s quick thinking. “All those things are just things, and some of those things do matter. They do, but in the end, it’s all replaceable (可替代的). Griffin’s not replaceable, my dog is not replaceable. There are no better results than this,” she expressed.
