A woman suffered extreme burns to half of her body and was given a 10% chance of survival after she ran into her burning home to save her dogs.

Vanessa Hayes, 53, woke up to find herself in an inferno - her two-bed home was on fire.

Thick smoke was already billowing up the stairs, and Vanessa’s immediate priority was saving her three dogs - Bella, Lulu, and Pippa.

Managing to get two of them out, Vanessa made the harrowing decision to go back into the burning house to save Bella.

Bella, a Bichon Frisé, died, but Pippa, a pug, and and Lulu, a French bulldog, survived.
