When Jill and Tim McLarty walked into the
shelter looking to adopt a dog, they saw the 3-month old Husky mix puppy they
named Hunter and fell in love with him. However, what the family didn't know is
that they were adopting a dog that would save their lives and be hailed as a
hero by the community.
After the McLarty's brought Hunter home
from the Michigan Humane Society, he acted like a normal happy, healthy dog.
However, on March 5th Jill McLarty awoke to the dog fussing in their room. Jill
states, "Normally he'll hit you in the face with his paw when he wants to
go out, but he was just consistently crying," so she let him outside
thinking he had to go to the bathroom.
While outside, the puppy continued to cry,
so Jill took him inside and prepared to go back to bed. Hunter refused to stay
in the bed where he slept and returned to the hallway. As Jill followed, he
began to turn in circles and led her onto the kitchen. When Jill continued to
follow, he sat by the stove whining. Upon further inspection Jill McLarty found
that the stove was on, no flames, just gas filling the house. Jill and her
husband Tim estimate that the gas had been running for about six hours since
they made dinner. After the gas was turned off, the windows opened and Hunter
was satisfied that the danger was gone, he returned to sleep. This is just one
of many stories that shows that even the lowliest shelter animal can save lives.
