Pet dog saves family from fire in Greater Noida, raises alarm in nick of time
A pet dog on Sunday saved a family from a fire in a nick of time in Greater Noida. The incident occurred on Sunday night at a duplex villa in Greenwoods society in Omega 1.
The 3-year-old dog Bravo is an Indie dog whom 38-year-old resident Shesh Sarangdhar had adopted in March. Sarangdhar who runs an IT firm, lives together with his pregnant spouse.

“I was irritated by Bravo’s constant barking and pounding at our bedroom door. When I opened to see what was wrong, I found the entire house was filled with smoke,” stated Shesh Sarangdhar.
The smoke was coming from their kitchen downstairs and located that their range and woodwork had been on fire.
“There was so much smoke that I could not see anything. I started dousing the fire with some buckets of water,” stated Sarangdhar who runs an IT firm. “It was a narrow escape for us because if Bravo had not raised an alarm in the nick of time, the smoke would have crept into our rooms as well and hurt us in our sleep.”
“We used to stay in Sector 119 where I used to feed the street dogs. In December, when we decided to moved here, we adopted four of them,” he stated.
“When we take a nap during the day, all four dogs like to snooze on the terrace. When the incident happened, only Bravo was awake and indoors,” stated Shesh.
“We did not have to call the fire brigade as I was able to control the fire on my own,” stated Shesh.
Shesh obtained to know later that his spouse had left the range with a pan full of oil earlier than sleeping and forgot about it. That is how the kitchen caught fire.

“In our society we often look down upon Indie street dogs but this heartfelt story shows how sensible and alert Indies are. Shesh is part of our animal lovers group on social media because of which we got to know about the incident. This story struck a chord with all animal lovers,” she stated.
