Hero dog saves heart attack victim
Katherine Spackman, ABC October 28, 2009, 10:31
A special cattle dog in Maryborough in south-east Queensland will receive the RSPCA's animal achievement award.
Two years ago, Jim Touzeau suffered a heart attack and collapsed at his Tinana glass factory.
His cattle dog Teka jumped up and down on his chest with her two front paws and barked in his face, causing Mr Touzeau to wake up.
Teka also ran outside and jumped up and down on the kerb to attract attention.
The RSPCA's Michael Beatty says he is amazed at what the dog did to save Mr Touzeau's life.
"I'm sure, as Jim says, he doesn't know for certain and neither [do] the doctors - whether or not Teka jumping up and down on his chest actually kick-started his chest," he said.
"But if he had not woken up, he would have been dead.
"So that is one young cattle dog that's receiving the best of attention, as I'm sure you can imagine."
Mr Beatty says Teka will enjoy the award.
"A very large, very impressive bone will come with the award," Mr Beatty said. |

When I was about 15 our family cattle dog Jess had a litter and I got to train my puppy. Unfortunately she ran away in a storm when she was at my uncle's place :(
I want another cattle dog but can't while I have such a small yard. |

And the Kiwi farmer stung on the privates by a Bee,
His Sheep sucked out the poison.
Or was that just another naughty episode? |
