Dog Crazy Newsletter Tuesday July 22, 2008 INCREDIBLE: Dog Dials 911 and Saves Owner's Life Hi shannon m, I was looking through some old press stories and this one caught my eye because it was so amazing. This particular story is from goodnewsblog.com and it happened in Ocoee Florida.According to the article, a Beagle named Belle started clawing at his owner when he started acting funny. Belle's owner was diabetic. When the owner's blood sugar fell and he passed out, Belle ran to the phone and called 911.How could Belle do this? Well, Belle is a trained service dog - trained to help his brittle diabetic owner. Dogs are able to sense high and low blood sugars. As you know dogs can smell many hundred times better than humans. When your blood sugar starts to rise, your breath starts to get a sweet smell to it. So you're able to tell the highness. But when you start to drop into the low, it drops into the seizure.Aren't dogs amazing? As a part of Belle's training - if she detects problems - she finds her owners cell phone and bites down on the #9 key. The phone then connects and Belle barks or whines into the phone. This alerts someone to call for help. Special training dogs are amazing and have saved many lives. The training costs over 8 thousand dollars but when it saves a life, it is well worth it... Belle's owner's life was saved.This is one more reminder that dogs are truly amazing creatures! To help you understand this topic better we wrote an article titled "Can Dogs Detect Disease?
