AUDIO: HERO DOG CALLS 911
A service dog is being hailed as a hero after she jumped into action and saved her blind owner’s life by alerting authorities to a house fire in Philadelphia Thursday morning. The fire broke out in the home of a 60-year-old blind woman. Her service dog Yolanda immediately dialed 911 on a specialized phone. Firefighters responded to the scene and controlled the blaze. The woman was taken to Nazareth Hospital and treated for smoke inhalation.
* Afterwards, the dog phoned in and ordered a pizza for everybody.
* How does this work, exactly? “This is 911. What is your emergency?” “Bark! Bark bark!” “I can’t understand you, sir. Please say that again.”
* Everyone was so nice to the dog, that now it dials 911 every couple hours.
* Try getting your cat to do that.
* The only way your cat would dial 911 is by accidentally napping on the phone.
* Nazareth Hospital is an okay name, but better yet would be Lazarus Hospital. Even if you die, they’ll bring you back.
* This dog just got a lifetime pass – it can jump on the sofa any time it wants.
* Not to be cynical but maybe the dog set the fire for the attention.
