In reply to the discussion: Ambulance taking man to the hospital is flagged down by motorist - there's a dog on the side step [View all]gwheezie
(3,580 posts)10. Similar thing happened with my husband
my husband was a paramedic they got a call for a man down on the street. Man was unconscious and his dobie was guarding him. Husbands partner and cops on scene were freaked out and wanted to do God knows what to the dog so they could treat the patient.
My husband loved animals and got along with all of them so he let the dog stay by the owners side. Let him ride in the rig and brought the dog right into the er dog was well behaved as long as he could watch over his man. The patient recovered and later thanked my husband.
I think there was a breed prejudice going on because it was s dobie.
