NORTHVALE – Police are crediting a dog with helping to save the life of its owner, a woman who suffered a medical emergency and lay unconscious inside the home for several days.
Two women were walking near the home shortly before 8 p.m. Friday when they heard glass break and a dog barking loudly, according to Northvale Police Chief William Essmann.
The women called police.
"Our officers observed the broken pane of glass next to the front door with the dog inside the home," Essmann said in a statement.
The officers called out for anyone inside the home to come out but there was no response, Essmann said.
The officers then entered the home, where they found the resident unconscious.

Poorly trained cops? They didn’t shoot the dog first?
Great thinking by the dog. Thank you for posting this uplifting story.
What is it, boy?
Is my hip-rotation getting in the way of my follow-through?
Or the unconscious person. Pikers. Not like the troopers who shot an old man over the weekend who got his gun before investigating a noise in his backyard. Cops at wrong house on 911 call.
I’m surprised they didn’t shoot the dog.
That tight bodice was what made her unconscious.
