Still Waters Posted May 15, 2012 #1 Share Posted May 15, 2012 A dog saved his owner after pressing the panic alarm to summon help when his owner collapsed.Disabled Victoria Shaw, 58, had trained Louis, her Yorkshire terrier, to call for assistance. "He's just a pet but I've been training him to hit the button just in case," said Mrs Shaw, from Wrexham, north Wales, "But it's always been just a bit of a game. This is the first time he's done it for real." "I had been in the shower and I was just coming out when my slipper got caught under the rug and I tripped. "I hit my back and my shoulder and felt my leg going underneath me and heard a crack - I thought I'd broken my knee, but I hadn't. http://www.telegraph...the-shower.html Good dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pallidin Posted May 15, 2012 #5 Share Posted May 15, 2012 That's great! I also had an experience where I hurt my back( not bad) at home and was crawling around my living room floor in pain, and my little wiener dog was following me around as if distressed about me and would not leave my side until I got better and able to stand up.

coldethyl Posted May 16, 2012 #8 Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) My dogs will probably be the ones who kill me trying to get to their food bowls or out the door. And I don't have a panic alarm. I'll trip and they'll just sit there and look at me and lick me. Edited May 16, 2012 by coldethyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libstaK Posted May 16, 2012 #9 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Yeah we all praise him now but wait till he remembers that pressing that button brings extra humans to pet and praise him "Oh, those 2 men were good patters, I want them to pat me again I'll just press this button ..."

BiffSplitkins Posted May 16, 2012 #11 Share Posted May 16, 2012 That dog deserves a nice big bone from the butcher for that! There is nothing funnier than seeing a tiny dog try to carry around a huge beef bone. That's great! I also had an experience where I hurt my back( not bad) at home and was crawling around my living room floor in pain, and my little wiener dog was following me around as if distressed about me and would not leave my side until I got better and able to stand up. I've got a mini dachshund and he acts so concerned when I am sick. Sticks right by my side. They are great dogs for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhincewind Posted May 16, 2012 #12 Share Posted May 16, 2012 when I passed out at home many years ago, it was my lab licking my face that woke me up. Sadly he is no longer with me but I'm sure he isn't far away even though I can't see him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazzill Posted May 23, 2012 #16 Share Posted May 23, 2012 My sweet dog diagnosed my Galucoma! She sits on my chest when I lay down and this particular week she was unusually interested in my eyes- she would get up real close, sniff at them then stare at me with a mad concerned look. She did this for a week, then she started to scratch near it as well as if she was trying to figure out what was wrong. She ended up scratching my eyeball & I had to go to the eye Dr. where he told me I had Glaucoma & my pressure was so high that I could go instantly blind at any moment! Thankfully my dog knew something was wrong or I never would have been diagnosed in time to save my sight! She is very closely bonded with me- I wasn't planning on keeping her when she was born but she "picked me" she wanted to be near me more than she wanted her mammas milk or treats or anything else, so I kept her cuz she wubbed me so much.
