A mom almost died from rabies after being bitten by a stray cat on holiday in Turkey — but had her life saved when her dogs sniffed out the deadly disease.

Chloe Kelly, 44, was bitten on the heel while eating in a restaurant at the 5 star La Blanche Resort, in Bodrum, on the last day of a week long break.

The hairdresser was left in agony but caught the flight back to Britain where she credits her two pet pooches for saving her life.

The single mom-of-two had been wanting to catch up on some sleep upon her return home before planning on calling her GP to book in a tetanus jab.
