News - A Step Beyond: Mule's brays save owner from fire: "Nashville, Tennessee - Add a 38-year-old mule named Lou to the list of heroic dogs, dolphins and other animal rescuers.
When fire broke out at Jolene Salomon's farmhouse near Morrison, Tennessee, on Friday, her pet mule sounded the alarm by braying loudly and loping around its pasture, she told the Southern Standard newspaper in McMinnville.
A semi-invalid, the 63-year-old Salomon was able to get to safety as the house burned to the ground.
'I lost everything but I still have Lou, who saved my life,' Salomon told firefighters."
