Owner Saved By Dog Dialing 911

Joe Stalnaker was saved last week, on Wednesday Sept 10, 2008, by his dog after having a seizure. His German shepard, Buddy had dialed 911. An emergency dispatcher, Chris Trot recieved the call. "Hello, this is 911. Hello ... Can you hear me? Is there somebody there you can give the phone to," said Trott, on the recorded 911 call. Trott heard barking and whimpering in the background.

After tracking the call down, the police arrived 20 minutes later. Stalnaker was taken to the hospital where he stayed for two days. Stalnaker had previously received a head injury 10 years ago from a military-exercise accident. He got Buddy from Paws with a Cause and has trained his companion since Buddy was 8 weeks old. Buddy is now 18 months old.

Buddy is sure a dog of all dogs. Stalnaker is lucky to have a dog that's able to call 911 to save his life.
