A heart-stopping viral video from Mandaue City, Cebu shows a woman risking her life to save her beloved pets during a massive house fire.
The woman, from Philippines, has been hailed a hero after she prioritised rescuing her two dogs before escaping the burning building herself. Fire officials are still investigating the cause of the blaze.
In the dramatic footage, huge flames and thick clouds of smoke can be seen engulfing the house. The woman is spotted on the second floor near the balcony, calling out for help as neighbours gather below. Firefighters quickly set up a ladder to bring her down to safety.

But before climbing down, the woman makes a bold decision; she lifts one of her puppies and urges the people below to catch it. She throws the puppy off the balcony, and the neighbours successfully rescue it. She then does the same with her second puppy, ensuring both are safe despite the intense fire growing behind her.
As the flames intensify and smoke fills the balcony, the woman eventually has no choice but to escape. She grabs onto the railing and carefully manoeuvres herself onto the ladder. A firefighter climbs up to assist her, and she makes a dramatic yet safe descent.
The video has gone viral, with netizens praising her courage, selflessness, and unwavering love for her pets. Many called her a true “furmom hero,” applauding both her bravery and the quick response from neighbours and firefighters.
One user commented, “She is brave girl no scream no drama no fear.”
