I READ this cracking story on the BBC website about a pet cat who saved a man from his burning home.
Hugo, a grey and white moggy, came to his neighbour Andrew Williams' rescue, when a fire broke out at his bungalow in Bracknell in Berkshire.
Andrew, who was asleep at the time, awoke in the smoke filled house to Hugo clawing at the father-of two's face.
Hugo came through a cat-flap to wake up Andrew.
Rescuers said that the fire could have killed him if he had not been awoken by Hugo.
Hugo and his brother Harvey are regular visitors to the cat lover's home.
A spokesman for Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue said: "We are delighted that this very fire-aware cat was able to alert the family on this occasion.
"This just highlights the importance of having working smoke detectors inside your home."
What a hero Hugo was!
