Eeyore the Dog Retrieved a Sheriff’s Deputy
Injuries and medical emergencies rarely come with a warning. One moment, everything feels normal, and the next, something can happen while you’re just grabbing the mail, getting out of the shower, or walking through your home. Many people’s saving grace is that someone was within earshot or in sight when the incident happened, available to render aid and get medical attention on the scene. But what happens when you’re out on your own without anyone you know? You can only hope you have a guardian angel like Eeyore looking over your shoulder. Law enforcement in Okaloosa County, Florida, responded to a call from a man who had grown worried about his wife. She was an older woman who had taken their 100-pound granddog, Eeyore, for a walk as the sun set. The husband stated that she normally only takes 10–15 minutes but hadn’t returned for over an hour. He was panicking. As the sheriff’s deputy drove around the neighborhood, she spotted Eeyore, who quickly approached the vehicle. The deputy didn’t hesitate; she quickly acknowledged it was the dog and asked, “Where’s your momma?” Like a scene from a movie, the dog leaped into action, guiding the deputy straight to the woman on the ground. Thankfully, the woman was alert and conscious, but they were concerned she had suffered an injury. However, she wasn’t worried
about herself in the moment. She was trying to figure out how the deputy found her. She sounded completely flabbergasted when the deputy told her the dog was responsible for her rescue. “The dog brought you over? He wouldn’t leave. He kept coming back to me,” she stated to the deputy. As they waited for emergency services to arrive and provide aid, the two women made sure to give Eeyore plenty of love and appreciation. There’s no telling how long the woman would have been outside, or whether she would have remained safe had Eeyore not remained persistent in seeking help. The sheriff’s department was quick to credit Eeyore’s “love and instincts” for the rescue!
