A HERO jogger used a Ring doorbell to enter a stranger's home and rescue their pets from an inferno after spotting the burning house. <\/p>\n

The Good Samaritan, identified locally as Paul Murphy, was out for a run when he spotted smokes swirling around a house in Scotts Valley, California.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

The\u00a0homeowners, who were out at the time, didn't realise the danger their pets were in – until Murphy used their Ring doorbell to speak to them.<\/p>\n

Homeowner Courtney Polito told WTHR 13 that she saw Murphy "running back and forth" outside the house.<\/p>\n

"Hello, do you see there's smoke coming out of the top of your house," the jogger can be heard saying to Polito.<\/p>\n

As the smoke alarms were going off, Polito gave him the home access code and Murphy ran into the house to save the family's two dachshunds, a rabbit and a cat.<\/p>\n

Polito said if Murphy didn\u2019t step in to help when he did, they would have lost everything.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fire department said 10 more minutes and the house would have been gone,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

In the footage, Murphy can be seen running out of the home carrying one of the dachshunds to safety.<\/p>\n

Her husband Tony said "it takes a certain type of person" to enter a stranger\u2019s burning house to save pets.<\/p>\n

Polito said she was looking forward to giving Murphy "a hug" to thank him. <\/p>\n
