There is no shortage of amazing animal rescue stories out there, but it’s definitely not every day we hear about an animal that does the saving.
If any dog deserves the nickname “Lassie” in real life, it might just be Guy, a brave mutt who knew exactly what to do when his elderly owner ran into trouble. Guy joined his 79-year-old owner for a hike in the woods near Hazleton, Pennsylvania when the man fell and hit his head, according to reports from rescuers. The man dialed 911 for help and first responders scoured the area for hours, with no end in sight, when they came across the man’s barking dog.
“We stopped at an embankment. We didn’t think we would be able to drive up. The county was telling us he was up there. We were starting to debate, if we could get up there [then] how are we getting down,” Matthew Marsicano of Hazle Township said to WNEP16.
Guy found the rescue crew before they found his owner and was able to lead them safely to his location
“The dog ran up the bank, would stop every 20-30 feet and look back and start barking,” Marsciano said. “As we got [the man] loaded up and started carrying him down, every time we carried him the dog was whining right at our feet. We would have to stop to not trip over the dog. When we put him down the dog sat right next to him.”
Although the elderly hiker was unnamed in reports, we can hope he gives his loyal furry companion a nice reward for his bravery and loyalty!
