Heroic Pup Who Didn’t Give Up Saves Parent’s Life

Imagine this. It’s the middle of the night. Your husband is deep asleep upstairs, unaware of the events that are unfolding downstairs. You have not been feeling well the whole day, but your body has decided to pick the most inappropriate time to shut down.

Nighttime when you are alone with nobody to help you. Well, except your two good dogs, Mazie and Cookie. Meet Linda Humphrey, and she was lying on the floor unconscious from blood poisoning. What do you think happens next? Spoiler alert, it’s heartwarming and inspiring. Mazie takes matters into her hands and rushes upstairs to alert her husband, Mark. One problem, though. Mark sleeps like a log!

But instead of giving up, Mazie is relentless in her efforts to wake up Mark. She even goes to get his slippers and put them on the bed. That still doesn’t wake him up, so she starts jumping up and down the bed. Note that she has been trained not to do that. But, Mazie will break all the rules to save her mom’s life. That is how much she loves her.

And would you believe it! Her efforts finally pay off, and Mark wakes up. And when he comes downstairs guess who is there watching over Linda like a knight in the castle? Her other dog, Cookie. And that is how she winds up in the hospital, alive and well all thanks to Mazie. That is the incredible story of one couple and their two dogs.

But wait, it gets better. Mazie is adopted. Better yet, the couple had been warned against adopting her because of past behavioral issues. But, the heart wants what it wants. Mazie finally redeemed herself in a big way. Now, this is what I call a good dog!
