It looks like the script of the old TV series “Lassi”, but it is not: a dog led the police to the place where she was injured, injured, shocked and hypothermia her boss.
Tinsley, a one-year-old female German shepherd, was seen anxiously running on a freeway on the border between New Hampshire and Vermont (northeastern United States) on Monday night, prompting anxious motorists to call her.
When police arrived at the scene, located the dog and tried to catch it, Tinsley started running again, leading them to Vermont, to a point on the road where the guardrail was broken and a truck had veered off the road and overturned.
His driver, the dog’s boss, as well as another person, were thrown out of the car, injured and began to have hypothermia.
“It quickly became apparent that Tinsley was leading (the police) to the scene of the accident and to the injured,” New Hampshire police said via Facebook.
“They could understand that the dog was trying to show them something, because it did not stop escaping, but without leaving completely,” police officer Daniel Boldasar told local WCVB television station.
“It was like saying ‘follow me, follow me’. And they did – and, to their great surprise, they saw that the guardrail was broken and looking down, in the direction the dog was looking, they could not believe their eyes. “
“I compare it a bit, for those who remember it, with a story from the (TV series) ‘Lassi’, only this happened in real life, where people have a problem and the dog goes to help and leads it where it should be,” he added. .
When first aid workers arrived and began caring for the injured, the dog “sat quietly” next to its owner, said Jack Hedges, a Hartford firefighter.
The owner of the devoted wolf dog, Cam Landry, who did not suffer any serious injuries, described Tinsley as “my little guardian angel”, calling it “a miracle that he had the kind of intelligence he needed to do what he did”.
