At 1:30 in the morning on one Sunday in Springfield, Tennessee, Sharon Sanchez was getting ready for bed. It was at that moment that she noticed her dog, Lucky, acting strangely.
"He was howling. He was going crazy,” Sharon recalled in the video below.
It was Lucky's incessant barking and howling — which reminded Sharon of a coyote — that led her to look out the window.
“Through my curtain in my window," she described, "I could see orange stuff flying out of the roof."
The roof she spoke of belonged to the house of Sharon's next-door neighbor, Mack Anderson, a 73-year-old man. In fact, because of Lucky's alarming behavior, she realized that Mack's house was engulfed in flames.
“I opened the door and I seen Mack standing there with his walker in his hands, and he was saying, ‘Lord Jesus help me! I'm going to die, somebody help me!’ I said, ‘You're not going to die. I’m coming to get you,’" Sharon recalled with tears in her eyes.
In the video below, Sharon detailed how she bravely ran towards the burning home to save Mack.
The 73-year-old suffered burns, but he survived and is recovering in the hospital.
“If it wasn't for Lucky, I would have never known that anything was going on,” Sharon said. “That's my hero. That's my Lucky.”
