Dog dials 911 and saves owner. A cat would have let her die.

Faith, a 4-year-old Rottweiler, phoned 911 when Beasley fell out of her wheelchair and barked urgently into the receiver until a dispatcher sent help. Then the service dog unlocked the front door for the police officer.

"I sensed there was a problem on the other end of the 911 call," said dispatcher Jenny Buchanan. "The dog was too persistent in barking directly into the phone receiver. I knew she was trying to tell me something."

Faith is trained to summon help by pushing a speed-dial button on the phone with her nose after taking the receiver off the hook, said her owner, Beasley, 45, who suffers grand mal seizures.

Guided by experts at the Assistance Dog Club of Puget Sound, Beasley helped train Faith herself.

The day of the fall, Faith "had been acting very clingy, wanting to be touching me all day long," Beasley said Thursday.

The dog, whose sensitive nose can detect changes in Beasley\'s body chemistry, is trained to alert her owner to impending seizures.

But that wasn\'t what was happening on September 7, and Faith apparently wasn\'t sure how to communicate the problem. During Beasley\'s three-week hospital stay, doctors determined her liver was not properly processing her seizure medication.

Dogs eat shit (either their own or horse shit), cats do not. Plus, I have seen two homosexual dogs having a go at each other, ugh.

Cats > Dogs

Why do I sense this will be a 10 page debate about nothing?

All dogs know how to do is sit there and annoy the **** out of you when you\'re with all your friends watching tv or playing games.

sorry someone had to say it.

Nothing like coming home and having you pussy waiting for you.

Cats are snobs, they’re not your pet, you’re theirs. Dogs are mans best friend, they\'re ALWAYS wanting company and pats. Cats just snob u off and walk away. Dogs protect you from intruders, dogs are smarter. How many cats for the blind or cat drug finders are have u seen?

DOGS ownz da catz. The only good cat is a dim sim\'d one.

monkey > dog > cat

cats are lazy and cute....like me....

Bulldogs are lazy and ugly, or cute however you wanna look at em.

 

I\'d get both if I weren\'t allergic to cats.

Hmm..my German Shepard and my cat are like best friends. It\'s really weird. The German Shepard (a girl) herds the cat inside every time the cat finds a way to get outside. First time I saw it, it was the single coolest thing I\'d ever seen.

So yes, I\'m quite impartial...they\'re both awesome

See Yuz.

^^Thats awesome^^^

Im with most of the cat people in this thread but recently i got a puppy. Hes getting close to being a year old come january i think, but we got him when he was about some weeks. Hes a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - almost a pure bred but im not entirely sure (id have to ask my dad). Maybe ill post pics later, but hes awesome and i wouldnt trade him for anything.

Ive never really HATED dogs but i grew up with a cat and so I guess you could say im a cat person.
