At 2 am he began barking furiously and I was instantly awake trying to calm him and keep from getting booted from the motel when I realized the TV was on fire and dense, black smoke bellowing out from the burning plastic. Smoke about 2 feet thick covered the entire ceiling of the room. I'm convinced that as tired as we were, we would have died in our sleep from smoke inhalation had not Lucky Dog awakened us.
