A family in southwest Bakersfield, California, safely escaped a house fire early Saturday morning after their dog, Lulu, alerted them by barking as flames spread from the backyard into the home. The Bakersfield Fire Department reports that the fire rapidly engulfed the house, breaking through windows and destroying most of the family's possessions. Despite the damage, responders were able to recover a cherished wedding ring from the debris, and thanks to Lulu, everyone made it out alive.
