Idaho ? Sometimes rescuers need to be rescued, too.

Candace Jennings was sleeping on the couch when she was nudged awake by her dog, Anna, to find her mobile home engulfed in flames early Thanksgiving Day.

The blond heeler, an abused stray dog Jennings had adopted from an animal shelter, whined and howled until they ran outside.

“I had an awful headache. The place was filled with smoke,” she told the Idaho Statesman for a story published Saturday.

Jennings said she ran back into her burning home to save some items.

But Jennings said she became disoriented and was nearly overcome by smoke. She tried to get back out but crawled in the wrong direction, heading toward the pantry instead of the door.

Anna showed her the way out.

“She pushed on me; she nudged me out the door,” Jennings said.
