16. Full-time dogs, part-time lifesavers

Yesterday, a 71-year-old man was out on his own walking his dogs on Braithwaite How. A few minutes after passing another walker, he had an apparent seizure, collapsed, and became unconscious. Incredibly, one of his dogs, a black Labrador, ran after the passing walker, barking to get her attention and tried to get her to return, which she duly did. She found the other dog, a golden retriever, lying by the unconscious man. She phoned 999 for assistance, and Keswick MRT sent out a vehicle with other team members going directly. By the time the team arrived, the man had regained consciousness, and after an assessment by a team medic, he was able to walk down the hill to an awaiting ambulance. He was then taken to the hospital for further checks.Many thanks to the passing walker and the amazing dogs.12 team members - 1 hour
