Rescue dog’s heroic actions save 84-year-old owner’s life after accident

It’s always great to have a dog by your side. Dogs are such intelligent and protective animals, they will always step up to help in times of crisis.

That was the case recently, when one hero rescue dog saved her 84-year-old owner’s life 😮❤️

According to a release from the Stevens County Sheriff’s Office, in Washington, Deputy Wright was out on patrol on September 25 when he came across a 13-year-old dog sitting in the roadway.

There were no residences nearby, and when the deputy tried to get the dog in his patrol car to found his owner, she refused to budge. Wright checked the surrounding area for the dog’s owner, but couldn’t find them.

The deputy began to suspect that something was amiss. He returned to the dog, who soon led him up a roadway towards a small cabin. Wright followed her — and was shocked to discover an 84-year-old man lying on the floor.

The man had fallen and broken his leg. It soon dawned on the deputy that the dog belonged to the senior man, and was outside trying to get help.

The dog, a rescue named Gita, was described as the man’s “best friend,” so it’s no surprise that she demonstrated such loyalty — loyalty that likely saved the owner’s life. The man has medical conditions requiring regular medications, and had already been there for hours. If Gita had not gotten the deputy’s attention in time, there could’ve been grave consequences.

“We credit Gita for saving his life that day,” the sheriff’s office wrote. “The loyalty and heroism of our furry friends never cease to amaze us.”

“Thank you, Deputy Wright, for going to the extra effort and thank you Gita for being a good girl and true hero!”

The heartwarming rescue story went viral, with many people online praising this smart hero dog, as well as the deputy for following his gut and trusting Gita.

“Dogs really are a man’s best friend, it’s proven time and time again,” one commenter wrote on Facebook.

“Kudos to the officer for trusting their instincts and not ignoring this pup!” another wrote.

“What a good boy! Hats off to Deputy Wright for his intuition to follow the loyal pup!”

Gita is such a smart and loyal dog, and she truly her owner’s life! Please share this story if you love dogs ❤️
