Caller six – From 5 ridiculous people to 1 remarkable dog

When Leana Beasley of Richland, Washington, USA, fell out of her wheelchair, her service dog, Faith, called 911 by pushing a speed-dial button on Beasley’s phone with her nose. Beasley, 45, who suffers from grand mal seizures, had trained Faith, with the help of the Assistance Dog Club of Puget Sound, to call for help in the case of emergencies. The 4-year-old Rottweiler barked into the receiver until the 911 dispatcher sent help. Then she opened the door when the paramedics arrived. 

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a wonderful Wednesday people and whatever you do,
