Belle looks like a cutie ...

"ORLANDO, Fla. - A 17-pound beagle named Belle is more than man's best friend. She's a lifesaver. Belle was in Washington, D.C., on Monday to receive an award for biting onto owner Kevin Weaver's cell phone to call 911 after the diabetic Ocoee man had a seizure and collapsed."

Ha, like any Beagle I'm quite sure she was just looking to eat the phone whilst she had the chance.

That's pretty funny! Did she actually bite 911 and hit send, or was it on speed dial?

edit: turns out it was a dog trained to sense changes in blood sugar levels and summon help, so I'm assuming it was a special cell phone

Smart dog but she looks like she would rather be at home in bed.

Stereotypes tend to come about because they often hold true. It's when people begin holding that stereotype against the entire group that's stereotyped that things go wrong.
