This is not the first time that the alert instincts of a dog saved a human’s life. Sadie, a loyal German Shepherd in the UK never left her human Brian’s side when he had a heart attack in February this year. Not only did she stay by his side and lick his face to keep him conscious, but the dog also managed to drag Brian to his phone so that he could call emergency services. Thanks to Sadie, Brian was able to call a hospital and seek help on time.
