Alerted By Family Dog, Man Saves Mother From Burning Home

A woman is recovering at the hospital thanks to her son who saved her by running into her burning home. It was a family effort that began with the family dog. “I’ll never yell at you again for barking at night,” Carolyn Colangelo said to Ginger, the family dog. Ginger barking at someone yelling outside, woke-up the Colangelos. The yells were about a fire at the home next door in New Bedford. “I saw flames coming out of the roof. I knew I had to get here,” said Carl Colangelo. He ran out the door. “He yelled at us words we’ll never forget , ‘Oh my God. My mother’s house is on fire,’” said Carolyn.
