A DOG led firefighters to his owner, and the fire led police to a cannabis crop, when a house in the Adelaide Hills went up in flames last night.

Country Fire Service (CFS) firefighters were called to the Charleston house, east of Adelaide, about 11.30pm (CST) yesterday.

When firefighters arrived, the rear of the house was well alight, CFS spokeswoman Krista St John said.

The dog barked furiously as firefighters began searching the house, and ran back and forth between the entrance door and an internal door, she said.

Firefighters followed the dog to the door and discovered a man inside the room.

Another discovery made as a result of the fire was a hydroponic cannabis crop, a police spokeswoman said.

Pretty funny, I wonder how happy the man was about being saved?

Curse you Lassie!!!!! Hahahaaahaa I'be SO glad that my life was saved, but then I'd be SO ticked at the same time.

lol

I reckon the dog couldn't stand the smell of the cannabis any longer and fire, or no fire, he was determined to kill two birds with one stone - save his master and shop him in!

The guy was probably sitting in the room enjoying the smoke from his burning plants... that dog didn't save his life, he just interrupted his little toke session. the guy was gonna leave the house after he was nice and stoned... damn it lassie, you were just jealous cuz he wouldn't let you in.

I wonder if the police recruited the dog for drug sniffing duties?

I first thought this title said 'to owner and cannibals'.

?

OMG ColdEthyl... I though exactly the same thing... it's the only reason I read the article. haha.

speaking of cannibus, that cat looks pretty blazed ^

You know what they say about great minds thinking alike! LOL

I feel like that cat right now!!!
