Dog Calls 911 and Saves a Life
Newsweek has a great story about a dog who saved her owner’s life by dialing 911:
Belle was in Washington, D.C., on Monday to receive an award for biting onto owner Kevin Weaver’s cell phone to call 911 after the diabetic man had a seizure and collapsed.
“There is no doubt in my mind that I’d be dead if I didn’t have Belle,” said Weaver, 34, whose blood sugar had dropped dangerously low. Belle had been trained to summon help in just those circumstances. She had been taught to bite down on the number 9 on his cell phone contacting 911.
The story goes on to say that the dog is able to sense when her owner’s blood sugar is low, and alerts him to check his blood sugar.
It is amazing to me what dogs can do, and how much they help us in so many ways.
