ELKHART LAKE, Wisconsin (AP) -- After a disabled woman's cat started a house fire, her specially trained dog came to the rescue, then died trying unsuccessfully to rescue the cat.
Jamie Hanson said her 13-year-old dog Jesse brought her artificial leg and a phone she used to call 911.
"She got me outside and then she heard the cat upstairs and she went up there to get the cat, and she wouldn't come back to me," Hanson, 49, said at a news conference Monday at Aurora Sheboygan Memorial Medical Center, where she was being treated for her injuries.
She received third-degree arm burns in the fire Sunday night at her home in Rhine, south of Elkhart Lake. Both pets died.
Hanson, who lost a leg in a car accident three years ago, said she was on the couch watching television when the cat ran over the back of the couch.
"And he jumped onto a table that had a candle on it and tipped it over and lighted the artificial plants on fire," she said.
Hanson said she fell off the couch and was unable to get her artificial leg from the table, "so my dog got my leg for me and went and got the phone and brought the phone to me so I could call 911."

It could be very well argued that old people are useless.
what about that cat that called 911 when it's not-old-but-suffering-from-aids owner fell?

i actually dont think it's that cute. the look in that cat's eyes is the miserable selfish stare of the unconscious. it's the kind of look you hope to never see surface on a human beings face and that you're guaranteed to encounter with caged bears
when i went camping recently, everyone was a little let down that we experienced a few near-misses in terms of timing but never got to see a bear roaming free, but the bear we did see, which was in a portable bear trap, was more interesting to me. 100% Id in it's eyes.

people with artificial plants need to die. If I was the dog I would have dragged her back in and sat on the porch wagging my tail.
