A family in County Down have praised their ‘super’ dog for alerting them that their five-year-old son was trapped in the tumble dryer. Riley Gedge-Duffy, who has Down’s Syndrome, suffered burns to his arms, back and head when the machine automatically started after he’d crawled inside. Riley’s dad, Aaron Duffy, told 5 live the family dog, Teddy, a Cockapoo, alerted his wife who was upstairs vacuuming. Aaron said: “the dog was barking and growling and running around,” “Teddy did this two months earlier when a phone charger went on fire, which let my wife know something was wrong,” he added.
