Dog saves paralyzed owner from freezing to death by his smart move

A man from Michigan got himself into a perilous situation that convinced him he was living through the last day of his life. He knew no one was around to help him except for his loving dog Kelsey who could hear her owner’s cries for help. But, could the dog look for aid and save the man’s life? Whoever owns a dog would give you a resounding yes. Take a look at this amazing story that is just another proof that dog is a man’s best friend.

Bob was spending that New Year’s Eve at his cozy and warm home with his dog by his side watching his favorite TV program. The two enjoyed the idyllic sight of the snow falling and covering the entire surrounding with a white, icy blanket. Unfortunately, that was all about to change. 

As the fire was slowly dying, Bob went outside to grab some logs. He was making sure he doesn’t slip and fall, but it was way too cold and the paths were completely frozen so he did exactly what he feared of, he slipped on the sidewalk and broke his neck. As he tried to reach for help, he realized he was left paralyzed and unable to move.

Eventually, Bob didn’t have any energy left so he lost consciousness, but then out of the blue, a neighbor who heard the constant noise the dog was making decided to stop by Bob’s place and see if everything was fine. That’s when the man noticed Bob. 

The neighbor quickly called the ambulance who were there in a matter of minutes and rushed Bob to the nearest hospital. When doctors saw his condition, they weren’t really sure whether he would make it or not, because his injury was pretty severe and on top of that, his body was basically frozen. 

Luckily, their efforts resulted with a positive outcome. They were able to heat him and decompress his spine which helped in reversing his paralysis.

“I am so thankful for my two heroes,” Bob said in a statement, referring to both Kelsey and his neighbor. “They are truly heroes and I will be eternally grateful.”

If it wasn’t for Kelsey who was by her owner’s side throughout his ordeal who knows what would have happened to Bob. He was lucky enough to have such a loving and loyal furry pal in his life. 

Take a look at the whole story in the video below.
