Wayne Dog Hailed as Hero After Alerting of Fire

A 3-year-old rescue dog is being hailed as a hero after alerting her owner of a fire in a nearby home.

Owner Linda Cattuna knew something was wrong when 3-year-old Oreo began barking at the sliding door of her Lake Drive West home and “darted out diagonally through the yard and continued to bark,” NorthJersey.com reported.

It turns out Oreo was indeed trying to tell her something: flames and sparks were shooting out of a neighbor’s chimney on Oakwood Drive.

Cattuna alerted her neighbor and the fire was put out quickly. She says Oreo will be rewarded with filet mignon and extra biscuits, according to NorthJersey.com.
