Debbie Credidio’s dog Jackson is a three-year-old Newfoundland who often hung out in the family’s bathroom to keep cool.

When fire broke out in the morning at Credidio's Farmingville house, Jackson jumped into the tub and put his nose in the drain. Firefighters Vince Egbert and Edgar Trejo pulled aside a shower curtain and found the dog "actually sucking air out of the drainpipe, which is an old-school thing that a fireman would do," Egbert said.

Jackson had survived intense heat for 40 minutes before firefighters carried him out. The family all escaped the fire, which destroyed their home. Link -via Arbroath
