Who knew a dog could save a life?

Lesley Hailwood was eating chocolate when a piece got lodged into her throat and she could barely breathe. Her dog saw her struggling and knew he needed to help. That's what he was trained for. Lesley was laying down on her couch struggling to get a breath and her dog pounced on her chest to dislodge the chocolate. It worked! She says if it wasn't for her dog she wouldn't be alive today.

This is heroic in such a weird way! It's a great thing that the dog was there with her. They say dogs are a man's best friend and I'd have to say this story just proves that point even more. Coming from a person that loves dogs already, it just goes to show that they are great animals.
