TUSCIE

Here's the story on how Tuscie, my hero, saved her life. She had been out that night, with her dog, and they returned around 1:00am. She went in my room with her dog, and shut the door to eliminate the noise from the other room. As she tried to sleep, Tuscie sat at her door and whined loudly. She finally gave in, and got up to let him outside. She opened the front door and he ran right back inside.

He led her into the dining room, where we had an old wooden dresser. He sat and waited. As she turned; she saw a gigantic flame coming from a candle that was on the dresser. The sides of the candle were high, so the flame was concealed from far away. The wick was about a centimeter away from burning through the candle, onto the dresser. My "flighty" had forgotten she ever lit the candle.
