I needed a break from the plane crash and the bank robbery gone bad. I did not link to the Indianapolis Star, as the link starts up an autoplay video.

INDIANAPOLIS –

A 2-year-old male pit bull named Ace was being hailed as a hero Wednesday afternoon after waking his deaf owner during a devastating house fire.

At 1:11 p.m., Indianapolis firefighters were called to fight a fire at a home in the 6400 block of Perry Pines Court, on the city's southeast side, officials said. Upon their arrival, flames were shooting from the garage.

Officials said Nick Lamb, 13, who is deaf, was sleeping in the house at the time. Ace was able to alert Nick and wake him by licking his face.
