An 11-year-old pit bull named Sadie has been credited for saving her family from danger after she sniffed out a gas leak in the basement of their Tuckahoe, New York, home. On Wednesday afternoon around 3:45 p.m., officials with the Tuckahoe Police Department received a call about a barking dog on the loose on Fairview Avenue. Though it first appeared that “Sadie was being a bad girl,” the police department said, officials with the Eastchester Fire Department and Con Edison later determined there was a gas leak coming from the basement. Did she smell the gas in the house, and force her way outside to the street to draw attention?” the police department questioned. "The dog saved the house from a potential gas explosion and gas leak," police Lieutenant Lawrence Rotta told WABC.
