A 10-year-old girl, Ann Waxman, rescued her big brother from certain death last night, when a fire broke out in their house in Manchester.
Ann s parents were out of town for the weekend when faulty electrical wiring caused the fire to start in the middle of the night. The young girl was awakened by the family's dog. Danny, who was barking excitedly in the back garden. Ann smelled something burning and immediately ran through the smoke-filled house to wake her older brother. Frank.
When Frank would not wake up. Ann got some help from the family dog. Frank’s unconscious body was far too heavy for the little girl to move alone, but the clever girl brought the dog inside and tied the dog’s lead to Frank’s left ankle. She then grabbed her brother’s right ankle, and together, girl and dog pulled Frank to safety.
The little heroine is c/itite modest about the whole thing. "1 couldn`t have done it without Danny, our dog, " she said afterwards. “I’m just glad we're all alright.” Ann is lo receive a medal for her bravery from Mayor Witticombe next week.
