Yvette Childers was driving to work in her RV one afternoon earlier this month, when the hood started smoking.

"I thought, 'Oh, I popped a radiator,' " Childers, 61, of Addison, Texas, tells PEOPLE. &quot Other drivers) going in the opposite direction are yelling at me, going, 'Get out! "Get out!' "

She quickly stepped out just as the vehicle burst into flames. As she waited for help to arrive, all she could think about was her 1-year-old Chihuahua named My Little Pony, trapped in his crate in the back.

"I'm standing on the side of the road and I'm dying because of her," Childers, 61, of Addison, Texas, tells PEOPLE. "I'm going to die if this dog dies. I can't make it.' "
