Stories don’t come more amazing than this, and this one turned into a national human interest story appearing on news programmes and in newspapers up and down the country! Over the years we’ve had quite a few tales of where a pet has detected a hypo and helped a member, and not forgetting the famous Bruce, of course, who is both a hearing and assistance dog (and close personal friend and award winner!) to member Einstein. We also have Finnish member Moddey’s dog, being trained to help her young son, and many members have also related tales of cats and even parrots coming to the aid of their human friends!
In this post, member Ellie Jones related how her two dogs Ellie and Jones (wonder where the member name came from?) worked together to alert her to the fact that her husband had collapsed with a hypo. One dog, despite being timid, ran home to get help whilst the other dog stayed with hubbie. Not only this, but it was apparent that the dogs had led hubbie to a place where he could most easily be found. This, apparently, involved crawling on hands and knees, hence the title of the thread. Thankfully, he was found, the paramedics called, and the story had a happy ending.
