A poodle named Skippy is responsible for saving the life of his owner early this morning when a fire broke out at a trailer in Oxford Township.

Rose Marino, 65, was fast asleep at 3:38 this morning when Skippy started barking and nudging her. When she opened her eyes, she saw flames along one wall and heard her smoke detectors, according to Warren County Fire Marshal Joe Lake.
