The Salt Lake Tribune (http://bit.ly/nT3dyT ) reports that
the dog named Ted was spotted by paramedics responding to the fire in West
Jordan early Friday. Officials say that when they tried to catch Ted to bring
him outside, he headed downstairs instead.
They say he waited until they caught up with him, then led
them to a 19-year-old man who was sleeping on a couch in the basement.
Authorities say the man was
treated for smoke inhalation and the dog was not injured. A woman and two
children had already escaped the fire, which was possibly caused by a gas leak.
