the Golden Retriever As Paramedic. Posted: 11-30-06 19:38pm
This isn't in the nature of a question,
but I felt I had to tell what happened to
me last sunday. Our 3 golden retrievers
sleep at the foot of our bed every night.
I woke early with a really nasty pain in
my back and shoulder and thought, gee, I
spent too long at the computer last night,
I must have pulled a muscle or something.
Anyhow, I lay there awhile trying to get
comfortable. I wasn't about to wake up my
wife and tell her I had a sore back, so I
popped a codeine and hoped for the best.
Of course what I was too dense to realise
was that I was having a heart attack.
Then our 2 year old golden retriever,
molly, went to the other side of the bed
and bounced on my wife, bonnie, until she
woke up. Molly is usually far too well
behaved for this kind of action. Anyhow,
bonnie could clearly see by my pallour
that something was seriously wrong and
called the paramedics. As far as i'm
concerned the dog saved my life and could
see that I was in trouble.
I've heard other stories about dogs that
can sense oncoming seizures in people, but
i'm not sure if I actually believed it
before. Now I do.
Does anyone else have any similar stories
to relate?
