Dog Pulls Seizure-Stricken Owner Out Of Cold
TOLEDO, Ohio -- A Toledo woman said she would have fallen victim to the cold weather were it not for her dog.
Sam Good suffers from reflex sympathetic dystrophy, a neurological syndrome that sparks immobilizing seizures through her body. Good said she suffered an attack last week while going outside to turn off her back porch light.
Temperatures were in the teens, and Good feared she might freeze. She called out to her 104-pound golden retriever, Maddie.
Maddie came to the porch and Good was barely able to wrap her arms around the dog's neck. Maddie then dragged her owner back into the warmth and safety of her house, all the way to her bedroom.
Good's seizure eventually subsided, but she said she could have frozen to death if not for her dog's help.
