Buddy DOES Dial 911!


I wish I could be as smart as Buddy, a German shepherd who lives in Arizona. His human is a veteran who received a serious head injury during a training exercise. He now has life threatening seizures. Buddy is trained to dial 911 when Joe has a seizure and keep barking until the emergency workers arrive. This is the 3rd time that Buddy has saved Joe by calling 911. The best part is that while he is barking into the phone, the dispatcher is heard saying "Hello, Hello? Can you hear me? Do you need help? Is there anyone you can give the phone to?" Smart dog, not so smart dispatcher.
