It's really quite amazing what our pets will do for us, after diligent training o' course. Thank God for those little guys.It just kind of sucks that Joe Stalnaker's seizures are the cause from injuries in the military.
Police in Scottsdale, Ariz., said a German shepherd saved his owner's life by dialing 911 when he began to have a seizure.click to hear 911 call
Joe Stalnaker said he adopted the dog, Buddy, when he was 8 weeks old and trained him to get the phone if he began to have seizure symptoms.
Stalnaker said he also trained the dog to press programmed buttons until a 911 operator is on the line.
Buddy, who is now 18 months old, can be heard whimpering on a recording of the 911 call at 11:45 a.m. Wednesday. Emergency responders arrived two minutes later.
Stalnaker was hospitalized for two days following the seizure but has recovered. He said Buddy is his best friend.
Stalnaker said his seizures are the result of injuries he received during military service.

My last client had a Lifeline unit in his home, for people who perhaps can't speak to a 911 operator.
My client's elderly cat pushed his lifeline button several times over the span of her life, saving my client's life.
Thank God the operator didn't just dismiss this dog!
