Don’t you have an anti-dog story to post to counter this?

My German Sheppard slept by daughter’s crib when she was suffering through her first tummy bug and ear infection. Earlier that night while I was trying to rock her to sleep, he kept coming by to check on us every 15 minutes. He was like clockwork. Dogs are such wonderful creatures.

He’s lucky the pitt bulls didn’t decide they were hungry.

I'm wondering if it was feeding time.

Megan Hellmer, vice president of Bully Paws, said the public hears a lot of negative news about pit bulls. But the dogs, when raised by responsible owners, are affectionate and bright.


Hey dingus....do you get that????

My kitty who we lost 3 weeks ago would do this to me when he knew my blood sugar was low. I have a unique problem because mine will go into the single digits before I get to the point where I can’t do for myself.

Thanks for posting.

My last pit used to alert and run over when my breathing changed. I always thought she would be great for a SIDS alert dog.

If you think this:

Even before the incident in December, Mara and Moby had stuck close to Setzer. They still do.

"When I lie down, they like to get as close to me as possible," he said. "Mara likes to get up on the pillow and lay next to my head. Moby likes to lie down full-length beside me."

is bad, just try living with my 85 lb. Black Lab/Pit cross. He doesn't just believe in sleeping close to me; he tries to push me out of bed every nignt. Will no one help me???

I’ve got a diabetic friend whose labs do this same thing when his sugar gets low.

I’ve never been a fan of pit bulls, but this is a great story. I never cease to be amazed at the apparent sensory capabilities of animals, especially service dogs. There must be a smell or something that they can detect. I’ve read too about dogs that have been trained to detect cancer as well. It’s hard to fathom how that’s possible.

I suppose that your whole body chemistry eventually shows up in your skin... provided the detection equipment is sensitive enough to detect it.
