Dog saves teen from deadly stroke: ‘He can tell when something is wrong’

Spring, TX – A 17-year-old boy who suffered a severe stroke lives to tell the tale thanks to his hero dog.

Amanda and Daines Tanner, who live in Spring, Texas, were woken up by their 1-year-old border collie at around 5 a.m. on Aug. 26. At first they ignored the pup, named Axel, thinking he just wanted to be let outside. 

The dog continued to try to wake the couple, so Daines got out of bed to let him out. But instead of going outside, Axel walked right to the door of the other bedroom and refused to move.

Daines opened the door and found his stepson, Gabriel Silva, suffering from a stroke: He was slurring his words and couldn’t move the right side of his body.
