My elkhound was acting odd a few weeks ago. I think it was a tuesday night. She finally got big dad to take her out. First she dragged him to the right, the she stopped and pulled him to the left and then down a road we never walk on cause it is a steep one in the ranch club. My huubs said the neighborhood dogs would bark and then pause, and then he heard what at first sounded like a cat. The dog pulled him further down this road, and then he heard it was a person and saw a small flashlight. The temp was in the lower 30's, and it was raining. There on the ground was an older lady, with 2 tiny dogs. He ran over to her and she told him she broke her leg. He covered her with his coat and ran to her front door and the womans daughter answered. An ambulance was called. It turned out she had emphysima, and her ankle, or foot was dangling by flesh only. She severed every bone. Had she layed there much longer it would have been bad. A couple of days ago, her daughter dropped off some gift cards to a restaurant and thanked us. Her Mom is still recovering from surgery and she hurt her larynex from yelling for help. From now on when our doggy asks to go out and drags us around we are going to let her lead.
