dog calls 911, saving his owner's life.

I saw that, If you heard the operator you would of loled!
 
I saw it on the News this morning. Very cool! The operator was funny about it, but in this day and age of nothing but bad press for 911 centers, I was happy that she dispatched immediately.
 
Cool
 
Cool. i love dogs. i used to watch animal planet all the time and remember being just absolutely fascinated at some of the things dogs and other animals have done in an emergency.
 
What makes it even more amazing is that the dog called on a rotary phone.






































Just kidding ;)

While it's nice that the dog did this, I suspect that the story is a little misleading. I doubt that the dog actually dialed 9-1-1 on the phone. My suspicion is that the dog actually hit some specially rigged button somewhere that summoned 9-1-1 for the owner.

Nice, but not as amazing as the story might lead one to believe. But I could be wrong, as even chickens have been trained to play tic-tac-toe.

Didn't the article specifically say it was a programmed button on the phone?
