A story that is bittersweet to share since a family of four lost their home on late Sunday evening but thanks to their puppy who is mixed breed male named Onyx they came out alive.
The name of the family victims was not released to the public since they are in shock that they lost their home located on Beegee Court in Woodbridge Virginia,
Onyx altered his owners who are two adults and two children aged one and three years of age that a fire began on the outside of the house before the smoke alarms went off to warn them of danger.
Even though the family of four lost their home to a fire, their neighbors are assisting to rebuild their loss of property and clothing.

Animals have great instincts. Nice story there! I just saw on National Geo Wild a dolphin who rescued a woman's cell phone when it dropped to the bottom of the water. Dolphins being very social wanted to help this woman in distress. Similar to what Onyx did only this puppy saved lives

I love stories of animal heroes. This family is really lucky that their pet warned them of the fire and were able to get out. It could have ended so much worse. I am glad the family's neighbors are helping them out. My sister and her family lost their house to a fire not long ago. It was hard to help them since they live so far from us, but we did what we could. Thankfully, they were able to get help from the community where they live.

Material things can be replaced. Life cannot be replaced. My praise for the puppy to save the lives of himself and his family.
