We've all heard of life-saving rescue organizations, and technologies that allow you to call for help at the push of a button are no longer new - but who's heard of a dog that can detect life-threatening situations?
Following animal studies that discovered that dogs have the ability to detect chemical changes in the composition of human body tissues, the following story appears:
Dottie Fisher, a 78-year-old woman living in the UK, was falling asleep in her living room chair when suddenly her dog, Blah-Blah, leapt at her and began to forcefully peck at her shoulder and breastbone.
Dottie woke up, trying to understand why the pet, who by nature is not inclined to cuddle, wouldn't stop hitting her.
Immediately afterwards, she felt a sharp pain in her shoulder that spread to her arm. She called the hospital and told them about her feelings. The nurse claimed that Fisher was suffering from a blood clot traveling to her heart.
The hospital confirmed the nurse's diagnosis and gave the elderly woman life-saving treatment.
Fisher, quoted in the Daily Mail, said that if Bla-Bla hadn't woken her up by punching her in the exact area where the blood clot was flowing, she wouldn't be alive to tell this story.
