The exploit of a female dog was hailed, Tuesday, January 4, in the United States as a “Lassie, faithful dog” story: she led the police to the scene of the car accident where her master was injured and suffered from hypothermia.
Tinsley, a one-year-old female German Shepherd, led the police on Monday, January 3, to her master who was in a traffic accident. She hurtled down a highway on the border between New Hampshire and Vermont (northeastern United States), prompting motorists to call law enforcement.
When the police spotted the animal and attempted to grab it, Tinsley continued on his run and led them to Vermont, where the crash barrier had been breached by a badly damaged pickup. The dog’s master and another person were thrown from the vehicle and were suffering from hypothermia.
“It quickly became clear that Tinsley had led (the police) to the scene of the accident and to the injured,” New Hampshire police said on Facebook.
“They could guess that the dog was trying to show them something because she kept eluding them but did not run away completely,” policeman Daniel Baldassarre told local station WCVB. “It was sort of ‘follow me, follow me’. And they did and, to their surprise, looking at the damaged guardrail and looking below in the direction the dog was looking. , they could hardly believe it. “
“He’s my little guardian angel”
“I compare that a bit, for those who remember it, to a story of Lassie in real life, where people are in distress and the dog will seek help and bring them back to the very place where the person is, ”he added.
While emergency services provided first aid to the injured, the dog “sat calmly and kindly next to her owner,” Hartford Fire Captain Jack Hedges said.
The owner of the animal, Cam Laundry, who does not present a serious injury, assured that Tinsley will receive game as a reward for his intelligence and dedication. “He’s my little guardian angel,” he greeted on WCVB. “It’s a miracle she had that kind of intelligence to do what she did.”
