Dogs Bark To Wake Their Owners at 4:30 Am, Leading Them To Call 911

When a Michigan couple were fast asleep one night, their two dogs suddenly started barking incessantly at around 4:30 a.m. The husband was forced to get up, and he went outside in the freezing cold to investigate. Immediately, he realized it would have been too late had the alert dogs not gotten him out of bed.


At first, the two Labradoodles, Adam and Eva, just barked madly and tried hard to wake up their owners, Susan and Lonnie Chester.
“Adam and Eva began to get intensely restless in our room where they sleep. And it was definitely out of the ordinary,”.
While unable to get their owners out of bed by merely barking, Adam started to pull Lonnie’s sleeve. He was so persistent that Lonnie couldn’t ignore his pet pooch, and got up to follow the two anxious dogs to the front door. Seeing the dogs pressing against the door and raring to rush out, Lonnie thought there was probably something wrong outside.

The instant Lonnie opened the door, Adam and Eva bolted out. They ran to the driveway, where a woman was lying on the ground. Wearing just a nightgown, the woman was shivering in the icy cold of about 9 degrees Fahrenheit (approx. -13 degrees Celsius) at around 4:30 a.m.

“She looked up at me and said, ‘I’m so cold,’” said Lonnie, recognizing the woman was their 89-year-old neighbor. “I have no idea how long she had been out there. She must have been terrified.”
Lonnie quickly brought the elderly woman inside. The couple wrapped her in blankets and called 911. The paramedics soon arrived and so did the elderly lady’s family, who had been searching for her. They had arrived at the Chesters home in Norvell Township.

Susan estimated their neighbor had been outside for about 20 minutes. “I believe that she will be 90 years old next month I do believe she was confused. And that’s the only reason that happened. I can’t say what her condition was but she had something going on,” she said.

“I do believe [the woman] was led to our house,” she added. “We think she saw the lights on our house and went toward our house because other than [the lights from] our house, it was really dark.”
Susan said the woman had frostbite on one foot, but apart from that, she was doing fine. The woman and her husband will celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary this coming spring.

The Chesters were proud of their dogs for saving the elderly woman’s life.

“[We felt] just incredible, just incredibly proud, just amazed at these dogs and how sensitive they are. They just have super sensitivities,” Susan said. “They seem incredibly intelligent to me. They pick up on things, they’re really responsive, and [they’re] really tuned in dogs.”

The interview below!
all right here we go I do find these dogs to be exceptionally intelligent I opened the door even squeeze out Adam ran out and I go oh my god then I looked at this lady there are dogs we have you know saved a life I mean they they really possibly did save this woman's life they just pick up on things so fast and they really pay attention to everything that's going on they are really really important in our lives

This English Teacher Brings His Corgi To Work Every Day

Image
If you’ve ever had Bring Your Dog To Work Day or worked in a dog-friendly environment, you know how much fun it can be. Who wouldn’t want to spend their coffee breaks in the company of some furry friends? Well, one English teacher in Austin, Texas brings his dog to work with him every single day, much to the delight of his high school students. Banjo the corgi is super-cute and joins his owner Kenneth Snyder in the classroom daily, where we’re guessing he’s pretty popular. Banjo gained a national audience in March when social media manager Sophie Vershbow, a friend of Snyder’s girlfriend,  tweeted out a photo of the dynamic duo: “My friend’s boyfriend is an AP English teacher in Austin. He brings his dog Banjo to school every day. Less teachers with guns, more teachers with corgis,” she wrote. No matter your politics, that sounds like a sentiment a lot of people could get behind! People on Twitter agreed, and the tweet has now been been re-tweeted nearly 70,000...

Dog Lead His Owner To A Mysterios Box In The Mountains, Ended Up Becoming A Father

Image
Sadly, many strays roam the streets of Greece, never knowing what it’s like to have a home or a family to love them. There is also an abundance of abandoned litters of kittens. SCARS, a rescue organization, comes across them all the time. They’ve rescued more than 25 kittens within just one month. One of the SCARS volunteers has a rescue dog named Aragon. They would take Aragon for walks near the mountains, where many pets – kittens, puppies, bunnies, birds – were abandoned in cardboard boxes. Sadly, hungry foxes usually got to them before rescuers did. One day, when they were walking Aragon, he began pulling rescuers toward a box. This time, there were kittens still in it! Aragon was hailed a hero. They got to the kittens just in time, because soon enough, they would’ve been eaten by a fox or another animal, just like many of the other abandoned pets were. Meanwhile, Aragon the dog stepped into the role of their foster dad They took the kittens in and they we...

Dog Training and The Love Fallacy

Image
One of the chief reasons we have difficulty understanding dogs is, paradoxically, because.they've been associated with us for such a long time-so much so that we take them for granted. The first evidence of dog's association with man is found at the Mesolithic site of Star Carr in England about 9500 B.c when the dog's superior sense of smell probably directed man to within bowshot of food animals. Recently in the ruins of Pompeii the lava casts of the bodies of a little boy and his huge dog were found. On the dog's bronze collar was the still legible inscription: "This dog has saved his little master three times once from fire, once from drowning, and once from thieves." The dog had obviously tried to rescue his master once more. * Very few domestic animals were found in the archaeological excavations of Pompeii. Animals instinctively know of impending catastrophe, and obviously most of the dogs fled before the eruption occurred. The night before th...

Korea Doesn't Want Olympic Visitors To See What It Does To Dogs

Image
They said they would keep it secret to avoid giving "a bad impression to foreigners." In the shadows of the star-studded Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, thousands of dogs across the country — some on farms just miles away from the stadiums — lie in cramped, dirty cages awaiting torture before they are slaughtered for food. But local authorities don’t want tourists to know about it. Ahead of the games, Pyeongchang County offered 2 million won (around $1,850) to any restaurant owner who would stop serving dog meat during the games. The intention, officials said, was to avoid upsetting tourists. Pyeongchang County government official Lee Yong-bae told AFP that signs advertising dog meat dishes have been switched out at restaurants near the stadium to avoid giving “a bad impression to foreigners.” A vendor selling dog meat at Gyeongdong Market in South Korea (image has been blurred) | Wikimedia Commons “We've faced a lot of complaints from r...

Dog Leads Man Into The Woods, Soon Realizes The Reason They’re So Desperate

Image
Many animals are born with an innate ability to sense impending danger. Some people refer to this as a sixth sense, while others call it animal instinct. Either way, this intuition is invaluable when these animals find themselves in a threatening situation. When one man was out for a walk with his dogs, he noticed their behavior was becoming more and more erratic. Just as he started to wonder if something was wrong, they began to drag him toward the woods—and he realized he was about to encounter some serious trouble… We may not quite understand how it works, but animals are born with a strong intuition. They always seem to know when a situation might be trouble or even when someone is in danger. Dog owner Mark White of Wixom, Michigan, knew this better than most. Mark was recently out for a walk with his two dogs, Belle and Crew, when something bizarre happened. Little did they know was that it would be the beginning of a situation only Belle and Crew could handle… Ma...
