A rabbit has become an unlikely hero after rescuing his owners from a ferocious house fire.
According to The Metro, the quick-thinking rabbit alerted his blissfully unaware, sleeping 'parents', who quickly detected the seriousness of the situation and succesfully evacuated the family from the house.
Police revealed the people inside the house may not have survived had it not been for the intervention of the family pet. Metropolitan Fire Brigade commander Mick Swift revealed: "The rabbit saved the couple from injury."
Although the house received substantial damage, the owners probably won't mind too much - it could have been much worse without the brave actions of one very special pet.
If you have any tales of heroism from your pet, then we'd love to hear from you...
