In the US, a dog from Washington State saved his 84-year-old sick owner from death. The fact is that the dog found a policeman in time and led him to the victim.

The amazing rescue story was reported in a number of American media outlets, citing the Sheriff's Office. After that, 13-year-old Gita was called a “rescue dog.”

The dog called a police officer for help

Deputy Sheriff Wright was patrolling a rural wooded area of ​​Stevens County when he came across a dog sitting on the road. It is noted that there were no buildings visible nearby.

The police officer tried to put the dog in his car to later find the owner, but Gita was against it. The man decided to check houses within a radius of more than a kilometer, but in vain.

However, the police officer , “felt that something was wrong” . He eventually returned to the dog, which was lying on the median strip of the roadway. The police officer tried to take the animal to a safer place, but the animal ran off onto a nearby path, which forced Officer Wright to follow it.

The dog led the police officer to a small house. He began to inspect the area and saw an elderly man lying on the ground nearby and calling for help. It turned out that the 84-year-old man, who also had underlying health conditions that required regular medication, fell and injured his leg. He had been there for hours, which could have had serious consequences if he had not been found.

The loyalty and heroism of our furry friends never ceases to amaze us. Thank you, Deputy Wright, for going the extra mile, and thank you, Gita, for being a good girl and a true hero! – noted by the Sheriff's Office.

It was thanks to 13-year-old Gita that a police officer found the man in time, which saved his life.
