Hero dog 'saves Indian family' in flood-hit Kerala
Mohanan P. and his family were sleeping at home in the mountainous Idukki district when their pet dog started barking raucously at around 3:00 am, waking the household.
"That's when we realised something was wrong. I went out to see and we had to just rush out of the house," Mohanan told Indian news network NDTV.
No sooner had the family rushed out when the landslide ploughed down a nearby hill and demolished their home.
The family, dog in tow, have since moved to a government-run relief camp nearby.
