SCOTTSDALE - An assisstance dog calls 911 and saves his owner's life last week in Scottsdale.

A dispatcher with the Scottsdale Police Department took a call from an assistance dog who barked on the other end of the line.

The dog was trained to call 911 whenever his owner lays down and is unresponsive. All the buttons on the phone are preprogrammed to dial 911.

This isn't the first time the dog has called 911.

This person was a genius. If you're in such bad health that you need a dog that is trained to dial 911, maybe you shouldn't be left alone.

It's all about the money, it's cheaper to have a canine tend to him than a home attendant.
