Heroic Rabbit That Woke Owner Of Burning House Dies
KETCHIKAN, Alaska -- Fire officials in Alaska say a pet rabbit woke its owner when the house was on fire, allowing the woman to get herself and her daughter safely out of the burning building. But the rabbit ended up dying from smoke inhalation.
The woman was awakened early Tuesday by the rabbit scratching her chest, and she saw the house was full of smoke.
She rushed to get her daughter out of the home, but the rabbit was left behind in the confusion.
The fire's cause is under investigation. The fire department wouldn't identify the home's two residents.

JOKE: George Bush Visits the Queen
Air Force One arrives at Heathrow and President Bush strides to a warm and dignified reception from the Queen. They are driven in a 1934 Bentley to the edge of central London where they change to a magnificent 17th century carriage hitched to six white horses. They continue on towards Buckingham Palace, waving to the thousands of cheering Britons; all is going well. Suddenly, the right rear horse lets fly with the most horrendous earth-shattering fart ever heard in the British Empire. The fart shakes the coach. The smell is atrocious! Both passengers in the carriage must use perfume-dipped handkerchiefs over their nose, but the two dignitaries of state do their best to ignore the incident. The Queen turns to President Bush saying, 'Mr. President, please accept my regrets. I am sure you understand there are some things that even a Queen cannot control.' Bush, with his usual diplomatic aplomb, replied, Your Majesty, do not give the matter another thought. Until you mentioned it, I thought it was one of the horses.'
