‘They’d prop themselves up onto the back of the couch and lick the side of my dads head, but only one side very intensely.’: Clever, caring doggo saves their dad’s life by alerting him to his life-threatening condition before it was too late

It might be rather fair to say that we hoomans simply do not deserve dogs. They care for us, probably more than we could ever care for ourselves. They are by our sides through thick, thin and hours of completely ignoring them while scrolling on our phones, and as was in the case of today's story, they sure do know how to save a life or two. That is right, thanks to the caring communication of two darling doggos, the life of one very lucky hooman was saved.

The peculiar thing if anything is that while these doggos used similar senses and training as is used by airport security canines all the time, the puppers in question had no background of training or field experience. They simply loved their pawrent so much that they did what little they could to help, and help they most certainly did.
