TEANECK, NJ- It seems that the decision to adopt a German Shepherd saved Brian Meyers’ life. According to Patch.com, “Myers adopted Sadie in September from the Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge, and on Jan. 16 the rescued dog became the rescuer after the Teaneck resident suffered a stroke in his sleep.”
“He had fallen out of bed and was unable to get up when the dog noticed he was in distress. Sadie was able to keep Myers awake by licking his face and pulled him across the room to his cell phone, where he called for help, according to a Facebook post shared by the animal refuge.”
“Brian Myers, 59, was being released from the Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation in Saddle Brook, New Jersey, when he was greeted by his 6-year-old German shepherd Sadie. He was in tears and in good spirits as the dog came rushing over to lick his face.”
