A dog named Chewbarka saved his family's lives when he alerted them to a fire in their home. James and Theresa Parsons woke up to the three-year-old Chihuahua-Dachshund mix incessantly barking. Theresa got up to see what was going on and discovered that the porch was on fire. The couple ran out of the house with their young son, and although they lost nearly everything in the fire, they escaped with their lives thanks to their hero dog.
