There was a story in Readers Digest about a German Shepard that saved it's family when the house was on fire. Woke up the kids, then the parents and waited in the front doorway until someone helped the dad out. Later they took the dog to the vet to have splinters removed from his gums. Turns out the family put him out for the night and he chewed through a plywood cover over one of the windows to get back in.
