Didn't happen that day; his dying that is, thanks to the dog. From the EMS captain: "It [the wreck] was in an area that was not heavily traveled. There are only a couple residents in that area, and only one that lives there full time. We would have eventually found him, but the dog certainly saved his life."

Second doggie story out of NM in two days. Here is the link to the first:

COURTESY WILSON FAMILY/JOURNAL
Baby is a hero these days after the dog helped her owner get rescued. Elwood Cardon had been in a car accident, with no one around to help, until Baby persuaded a nearby neighbor to follow her to the wreckage. Baby, incidentally, ate the medal a family member had made for her.

Yep. I’ve never met a Great Dane that wasn’t just a big lug and friendly as can be. They are also some of the very most attractive of dogs, but don’t live anywhere near long enough (true of most dogs, but especially Danes).

My son-in-law used to have two Danes. The male used to open the pantry door with his mouth, retreive Campbell soup cans and open them with his teeth to suck out the yummy goodness.

Seeing that picture reminded me of a chihuahua and great dane I saw years ago in a Washington state store parking lot. I was sitting in the vehicle waiting on my husband, when a couple drove up in an extended cab 3/4 ton pickup.

There was a chihuahua in the front seat and a great dane in the back seat. The couple rolled the windows down a bit and went into the store. From the moment they exited the truck the great dane began whining pitifully and whimpering after them like a baby (may have been a big puppy! ha.), but the little chihuahua growled and barked like a big dog. It was an amusing sight and I couldn’t help but chuckle at them.

Beautiful dog. Hope the medal wasn’t metal!
