ARNPRIOR – One dog was saved but another died while trapped a in a house with smoke billowing from every window last Friday morning. Firefighters from Ottawa and the Town of Arnprior descended on the blaze at 5368 Madawaska Blvd. at about 10:15 a.m. Located next to McAllister Ford, the brick bungalow is rented by three nowdisplaced people who weren’t at the scene. However, homeowner Bill McAllister was at work next door when a customer left then ran back into the showroom to say smoke was coming from the house. That’s when employee Susan Biard ran across the parking lot, opened the back door and a German Shepherd raced out. She climbed down the stairs and heard barking inside, but the door was too hot to touch. Another family pet, locked in a dog crate, died soon after. “She’s a hero,” McAllister said of Biard, as the anxious Shepherd barked incessantly in a nearby field.
