Service Dog Saves Blind Owner’s Life During House Fire<\/h1>\n

By David Chang<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Yolanda<\/p>\n

A service dog is being hailed a hero after she jumped into action and saved her blind owner\u2019s life by alerting authorities to a house fire in Philadelphia Thursday morning<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The fire started inside Maria Colon’s home on the 4300 block of Oakmont Street in the city\u2019s Holmesburg section. The woman was asleep at the time, but awoke at the smell of smoke.<\/p>\n

“I said, ‘Oh my God, It’s smoke. And I can’t breathe,'” Colon, a Puerto Rico-native who lost her eyesight in 1992, told NBC10’s George Spencer Friday.<\/p>\n

She shouted the word “danger”\u00a0to her service dog, a golden Labrador named Yolanda, prompting the dog to dial 911 on a specialized phone. Yolanda had been trained to step in and call for help when Colon used the emergency word.<\/p>\n

“I hear the phone \u2014 tke, tke, tke. And she’s growling. And I said, ‘Oh my lord, she called the police,'” Colon recalled.<\/p>\n
