NBC Washington -- Sam and Dave were immediately put on oxygen after they
were saved from their burning home.Between classes at their high school
in Arlington, Va., on Thursday, April 3, Sydney Davis ran across the street to her house
with her friend, Amanda Burtin, to get some tea. But when they arrived, they could see
thick black fog through the window, and they were hit with a big blast of smoke
as they opened the door.
"The first thing that came to my mind was saving my dogs," Davis said.
The dogs, Sam and Dave, were trapped inside in their cages. They called 911
and threw a rock through the glass door to shatter it. "We were just calling them
and calling them and we didn't hear a thing," Davis said.
"I just jumped inside and looked for their cage." But the teens couldn't breathe
and knew they had to get out of the house. Firefighters arrived just in time to free the dogs,
with the girls' guidance. The Wheaten Terrier and Australian Shepherd were immediately
put on oxygen and survived thanks to the teens' lucky timing and quick thinking.
