the fire. His strength depleted, Worrilow despaired of escaping the fire as he lay on the floor after the second fall.

How Deja found her way into Worrilow's home is a mystery. Her owner Amy Litaker, unaware that the house was on fire, had seen Deja butting against Worrilow's door and pacing his porch moments earlier. But Deja somehow succeeded in her determination to get to Worrilow where she licked him and dragged him by his shirt, barking vehemently. With Deja for inspiration, Worrilow made a final effort to get up and out of the house before it burned to the ground.
