A dog saved her owner – who hurt his leg at home in rural Washington state, fell and couldn’t get up for hours – by walking to a road, sitting in the middle of it until a local sheriff’s deputy stopped, and leading the officer to him, according to authorities.
Gita, 13, had sat down in the middle of a road when a Stevens county deputy first encountered her. The deputy tried to get the dog into his patrol cruiser so he could then look for her owner, but she wouldn’t get in.
Gita at that point took off up a lightly traveled, unmarked path nearby when the deputy tried to get her off the roadway and away from potentially being hit by a motorist, the sheriff’s office said. The deputy followed Gita, who eventually led him to a small summer cabin.
The deputy soon heard an elderly man’s voice call out for help while on the ground a short distance from the cabin, according to the sheriff’s office. The man had medical conditions that required certain medications that he had not been able to take after falling and hurting his leg several hours earlier.
Gita’s turn in the spotlight came about four months after a dog ran four miles to get help for his owner who crashed his car into a ravine in Oregon. That dog’s owner was ultimately rescued.
And in January, a man who fell through the ice on a frozen lake in Michigan was saved after his dog brought him rescue equipment at the behest of a state police officer who then pulled the creature’s owner to safety.
Man, dogs fucking rock. My kitties clearly love me, but they wouldn’t have any ability to try to rescue me. They’d just sniff my face while I was lying on the ground.
They would feast on your corpse when you finally cratered. Cats don’t give a fuck.
So would dogs if left to starve.
As the next logical step, we clearly need to arm every good dog with a gun.

>It’s consequently impossible for the guns to fall into the paws of bad dogs
It’s flawless.
That’s the way to get other good dogs killed.
