Samantha Griffen, a resident of Marion, Indiana, recently experienced a life-threatening situation in her new home at 54th and Prestwick Sq. Unknown to her, a water heater in her house started leaking carbon monoxide, a lethal gas. However, Luna, a Siberian husky that Griffen had adopted as an emotional support animal just six months prior, ended up saving her life by alerting her to the danger.
The carbon monoxide detector in Griffen’s house may not have sounded the alarm soon enough. But Luna, sensing something was amiss, refused to let Griffen fall asleep. “I had a migraine, so I went into my room and was resting like I normally do and she was not going to let me sleep,” Griffin told WRTV.
“If she hadn’t gotten me outside, I would fall asleep in here like completely fallen asleep, and probably wouldn’t have woken up.”
Luna persistently jumped on the bed until Griffen decided to take her for a walk outside. It was at this point that the CO1 detector finally raised the alarm. Immediately, Griffen evacuated all children from the house and contacted her utilities company.
The fire department was alerted by the company and they arrived to find very high levels of CO1 in the house. They emphasized that depending on their placement in the house, these detectors can sometimes fail to detect the gas. Therefore, they advised installing these detectors near natural gas appliances such as stoves and water heaters.
Griffen initially adopted Luna to help manage her PTSD. However, she never expected that Luna would also play a crucial role in saving her life.
