They Actually Train Dogs To Do This Now......
Say hi to Buddy. OK, it's not really Buddy - it's some other German Shepherd I found a picture of. He's an 18 month old dog , and he's one special dog. He was trained by a school to assist his owner for any emergency, and it paid off this week.
Buddy's owner suffered a head injury in the military ten years ago, and he occasionally suffers seizures, so when it happened, Buddy went into action.... He knocked the phone off the hook , DIALED 911, and barked and whimpered on the phone. At that point , the 911 operator noticed a post, indicating that he was trained to dial 911, and he stayed on until the ambulance got there, five minutes later. Pretty amazing, eh?
Yep, that old Rin-Tin-Tin is a real hero, but he should be used to it - this is the 4th time he's assisted his owner this year. If you want to see more about him, here is a clip:
