The beagle's owner succumbed to a diabetic seizure.
Belle his pet saved his life.
She had been trained to assess a potentially fatal attack by licking and sniffing her owner's nose. Dogs have super-sensityive sense of smell, and they can detect blood-sugar levels in exhaled air.
But that is not all. Belle seized her owner's cellphone and bit on the number 9 on the keypad. The phone had been programmed to dial 911( which is the emergency number) when the digit 9 is entered.
Emergency workers heard Belle bark and sent help.
Belle received an award for saving her owner's life.
