Service Dog's Licks Save Owner's Life
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/abc-blogs/dogs-licks-save-owners-life-130056324--abc-news.html
A lick of the face and a nudge of the hand from Danny, a miniature schnauzer, helped Bethe Bennett regain consciousness after she fell in her Glendale, Ariz., home.
Bennett fell on her tile floor Friday and broke her femur. She lay on the ground in excruciating pain, aware that no visitors were coming until Tuesday.
"I was scared. I really thought I was going to die," Bennett told ABCNews.com. "I knew I was going into shock because I'm a nurse."
But Danny, a trained service dog who used to care for Bennett's now-deceased mother, lent a helping paw that helped save his devoted owner's life.
