This one has already made national headlines:
A 9-1-1 operator didn’t expect to hear a canine when he answered the phone.
A dog had his day last week in Arizona. A German Shepherd saved his owner’s life by dialing 911.
In Scottsdale, Buddy saved the life of his owner, Joe Stalnaker, after he had a seizure. Buddy called 9-1-1 and began barking and whimpering to the operator. The dog stayed on the line enough for police to trace the call and arrive at the scene.
Chris Tott was caught off guard when he said, “Hello, this is 911. Hello . . . Can you hear me? Is there somebody there you can give the phone to,” and was greeted with barking from a furry friend.
Police arrived 20 minutes later and Stalnaker spent the next two days in the hospital recovering from the seizure.
“It’s pretty incredible. Even the veteran dispatchers – they haven’t heard of anything like this,” said Sgt. Mark Clark of the Scottsdale Police Department.
Stalnaker suffered injuries to the head several years ago due to a military-exercise accident. He adopted Buddy at eight weeks old as part of the Paws with a Cause, a company that trains animals for assisting those with disabilities.
“He’s my world. He’s my best friend, no question. He’s always there, and I just hope I can be as good to him as he’s been to me,†said Stalnaker.
