Mule saves woman from burning home

McMINNVILLE, Tenn. Jolene Solomon said Lou saved her life on New Year's day when he alerted her to a fire in the attic.

Solomon said she had just finished dinner when Lou's loud noises got her attention. The 63-year-old woman said the noise caused her to step outside and that's when she saw the fire.

The farm house, which was built by Solomon's grandfather, was gutted. She is staying with family and plans to rebuild.

Solomon said her father bought Lou years ago to help her and her sister, who is now deceased, around the farm.
