Paramedics Say Dog Helped Save Toddler

December 15, 2004 8:10 PM EST

MELBOURNE, Australia - A pet dog helped save a toddler from drowning in a rural reservoir, paramedics said Wednesday.

The 18-month-old toddler was pulled unconscious from the reservoir midday Tuesday after the family's border collie alerted the girl's mother to the emergency by running back and forth between the house and the reservoir barking, paramedic Greg Smith said.

The child's mother, whose name was not immediately released, resuscitated the girl while waiting for an ambulance to arrive.

"The mother said the child and dog were inseparable and that raised the suspicion that something was wrong," Smith said.

The girl was recovering in a stable condition at a local hospital in Bendigo, 112 miles northwest of the southern city of Melbourne.

Another Canine to the rescue! These animals are amazing. They have incredible instincts and devotion to those that love them and treat them well. They're actually 4 legged angels.
