Rabbit Saves N.J. Couple from Deadly Gas Leak
If not for an unlikely hero, a gas leak could have killed Jake and Mary
Pruett, of Bridgeton, N.J., this past Saturday night. Dogs and cats are
sometimes known for saving their families, but this time the champion was a
pet bunny.
At approximately 2:30 a.m. on Saturday night, Pruett stated that her pet
rabbit Blazer woke her up, by “walking on my face and making noises like a
horn was stuck in her nose.” Once awake Pruett stated that she
immediately smelled the leak and roused her husband. They exited the house
with Blazer.
Pruett explained that Blazer has a litter box so she is allowed to roam the
house like a dog or cat, and that there are pet steps next to the couple’s
bed that let Blazer come up and down. Pruett said that it is unusual for
the rabbit to visit the bed during the night, and that Blazer mostly comes
up during the daytime when the couple is awake.
After evacuating their home on Saturday night, the Pruetts called the
Bridgeton City fire department. According to fireman Steve Chambers, “it
is lucky that they got out alive. Leaks like this are often fatal either
due to death from toxicity of the gas or an explosion.”
Because carbon monoxide causes unconsciousness, victims who are already
asleep often die without waking up. According to the Center for Disease
Control, there are as many as 500 deaths a year due to gas leaks.
The leak was due to a faulty stove installation. Firemen were able to stop
the gas on Saturday night and the couple was able to return home on Sunday
after the fumes had vented. | y*********u
