people say that having a dog brings so much joy into it family but there's one
couple from Utah who understand that sentiments more than most and after
experiencing a terrifying health scare the pair learned precisely why a dog is
a man's best friend this story is all about an elderly man named Jim Cooper
who lives in Sandy Utah in 2017 something happened to 82 year-old Cooper
which could have proven fatal luckily for him though he had a guardian
watching over him that fateful night it all started at about 2:00 a.m. one
morning when Jim and his wife Judy were asleep in bed but they weren't alone
only recently the elderly couple had welcomed a dog into their home the pooch
was an Australian Shepherd healer mixed puppy to be precise at first Jim wasn't
totally convinced by the dog in fact he had even thought about returning the
animal within a week of first bringing her home but Jim and Judy stuck it out
and moved on to crate training their pet they would thank themselves later for
sure on the evening in question the puppy named Thibodeaux had come to sleep
in the couple of bed and it's lucky that she did because she played a fundamental
role in saving Jim's life that night the drum it all started after judy was
awoken by a bordo in the early hours it was a whining noise that disturbed Judy
from her sleep initially she was confused was her husband having a
nightmare perhaps sadly not it turned out to be far more serious than that she
tried to ask Jim what was wrong but he didn't answer her this was strange so
judy leant over to turn on the light what she saw next was very concerning
gin was still lying in bed but the bodo was sitting on top of him however the
pub wasn't just being playful not by any means in an interview with Desiree News
conducted in March 2017 Judy recalled seeing Thibodeau on all
fours just sitting on Jim's chest what's more the puppy was looking
straight at Jim and whining it was then that Judy realized that
something was seriously wrong with her Otto genera in husband in fact she knew
that she needed to summon medical assistance as soon as possible
as a result it wasn't long before Jim was being treated in hospital it turned
out that Jim was having a stroke this happens when the blood supply to a
section of the brain is halted starving the tissue of vital oxygen and nutrients
that are usually transported there via the blood an extremely serious condition
stroke is actually the second largest cause of death globally
fortunately for Jim and Juby though this one wasn't fatal that's right
thanks to the work of the doctors and one other very important character Jim
survived that other character was Thibodeaux of course the dog may only
have been seven months old at the time but she played a significant part in
saving her master's life Jim's doctors explained that they don't always manage
to treat stroke victims because not all suffers make it to a medical facility in
time happily though Jim's stroke was caught early enough and he was able to
get the professional help he needed to survive and Judy credits their pup for
making this happen after all had they Bordeaux not noticed that something was
wrong the dog wouldn't have started whining and if the dog hadn't begun
whining then Judy may not have roused in time to call emergency services I guess
I would have woken up the next morning and lost him she said without the dog he
wouldn't have made it Judy continued so Jim may owe his life
to Thibodeaux even though he doesn't remember any of the drama of that night
Judy related him the story once he had recovered from the stroke
ever since then Jim has thought differently about his furry friend she's
my hero the grateful dog owner said when speaking to media in March 2017 she
deserves a medal quite honestly I was about to take her back the first week he
joked but it seems like it was a very good decision to keep her in the end
it's fair to say that the Bordeaux has truly earned her place in the house now
having saved her owners life she's a good dog
Jim said before adding that Pavano was now member of
family after spending only a few days in hospital Jim was released and went home
to focus on his recovery and Thibodeaux was there to accompany him every step of
the way moreover Jim is not the only man to have been saved by a loyal canine a
man named Bob from Michigan was recently kept alive by his dog after he slipped
and fell breaking his neck Bob had only ventured outdoors to retrieve firewood
when the accident happened however the temperature was dangerously low in bob
was not wearing sufficient clothing having thought that he'd only be outside
for a moment alone and in pain Bob's doing Kelcey been protected him from the
cold by lying on top of him not only that of the hound barked for help too
eventually 24 hours later Bob's neighbor heard Kelsey's yelps and
call 9-1-1 although he needed plenty of rehab bob survived in his thought of
Kelsey as a true hero ever since but for their loyal dogs then life for both Jim
and Bob could have taken a much darker turn happily though the two men lived to
see another day I hope you liked this video then please hit the subscribe
