Rover, Call Me an Ambulance _ Dog Calls 911

"Man's best friend" doesn't go far enough for Buddy — a German shepherd who remembered his training and saved his owner's life by calling 911 when the man had a seizure.

And it's not the first time Buddy has been there for owner Joe Stalnaker, a police officer said Sunday.

On a recording of the 911 call Wednesday, Buddy is heard whimpering and barking after the dispatcher answers and repeatedly asks if the caller needs help.

I know this will likely get moved off to another board, but I thought this story was so cool I'd post it here anyway.

I can't help but wonder if this is more than just training.

Also I believe that often we underestimate the intelligence of animals.

This dog is amazing, and a hero.

This really does just show how intelligent and loving animals can be.

A very heart warming story

I think the only way it's 'more' than the training is most dogs, particularly German Shepherd's, Labradors and the like have total commitment and loyalty to their owners.



Truly amazing animals.

Edit Added: I do the same thing a few times and then realized I have to do a search and check the news section. ATS/BTS Search gets scanned once a day, that's why you have to do both to insure no repost.

Later have a good one bro!
