Dog Leads Police To Fire

A dashcam video from the Alaska State Troopers shows a dog leading them through winding back roads to a blazing fire at his owners’ property.

The video on the troopers’ website shows the German shepherd running to meet the trooper’s vehicle, then racing to the house on Caswell Lakes on April 4.

Troopers say Buddy and his owner, 23-year-old Ben Heinrichs, were in the family workshop when a heater ignited chemicals. Heinrichs told Buddy: “We need to get help.” The dog eventually found a trooper responding to a call about the fire.

The State Troopers are presenting a special award Friday to the dog. Buddy will receive an engraved silver-plated dog bowl in Anchorage.

Heinrichs suffered minor flash burns on his face. The workshop was destroyed, but only some window trim on the house was damaged.

Yay dog!!

When I was a kid, we had a neighbor up around the corner, that had a big male GSD. He walked him frequently, and would stop and talk, say hi ect.

Our neighbor right next door, decided to go see this guy one time. He had been to his house before(about 1/8th mile away). Well, he could not find Jim, so he went thru a gate to a side yard.

That big shepherd, would not allow him any further. The dog gently but firm, grabbed Barry's wrist, led him thru the gate, and down the road to his own front porch. Then he let go of him, and walked home. Barry was shocked; the dog did not hurt him, but would not let go till he was home, and on his porch. It was BIG GSD too; over 100lbs and not an ounce of fat.
