A heroic dog saved her elderly owner’s life by tracking down help after he fell and injured himself.

Dogs are some of the best beings you will encounter on this planet. They are loyal, dependable and loving. Also, most of the time, if you show one of those cute, furry and four-legged creatures any attention and love, you’ve got a friend for life. How can you not have a soft spot in your heart for canines?

A clip posted on YouTube details a situation in Washington state where, if not for the heroic and loving actions of one dog, her owner would have died. Instead, the dog was able to track down help and led a deputy to its owner, who had fallen and gotten injured.

The video states that Keith Johnson, 84, was letting his dog Gita outside one more morning when things took a turn for the worse. Keith states that when he let the canine out, he “got disoriented and dizzy.” He eventually stumbled to the ground, dislocating and cracking his hip.

Keith remained on the ground, unable to move, for several hours. However, Gita, the 13-year-old dog, always the trustworthy and dependable companion, stayed by Keith’s side the entire time. Eventually, Keith, understanding that he was in a terrible position, told Gita to find help.

Gita knew precisely what to do to get Keith some much-needed help.

The dog ran toward the highway and, while standing on the side of the road, caught the attention of a passing deputy. Eventually, Gita led the responding deputy straight to Keith. Gita’s actions had literally saved Keith’s life.

“I get choked up thinking about it,” Keith said. “She knew what she was doing. I tell her I love her every time I talk to her.”

Humans do not deserve dogs. God knew what He was doing when He put them on Earth.

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”
