Dog saves man from fire started by cat

[Dr. Whiplash]

Thumper, a black Labrador retriever, is getting credit for saving a Greenville, Maine, man when a fire swept through his home. Roland Cote said his wife and their 7-year-old grandson were away when the blaze started early Sunday. He said Thumper grabbed him by the arm to wake him, leaving just enough time for him to dial 911 before fleeing the fire.

While the dog is a hero, a cat is the bad guy in this story.

Cote said the fire marshal investigator believes the blaze was started when Princess, the family cat, tipped over a kerosene lantern. Cote says he and his pets escaped safely, but Princess did get her tail singed by the flames.
