An elderly Arizona woman and author who suffered a harsh fall last Friday is alive and recovering at a nearby hospital thanks to her service dog Danny, who not only helped her regain consciousness but also brought her the tools she needed to call for help, ABC News reports.
An author and dog-lover from Glendale, Ariz., Bennett writes stories about the foster dogs she takes in under the penname "Bessie Mac," according to ABC News 15 Arizona.
Last Friday, one of the foster dogs -- a Miniature Schnauzer named Danny -- returned Bennett's favor by saving her life.
After slipping on a tile floor and breaking her femur on Friday, Bennett lay unconscious on the floor of her home.
She woke up after being licked by Danny and remembered that no visitors where scheduled to arrive until the following Tuesday.
"I was scared. I really thought I was going to die," Bennett told ABC News.
That's when Danny sprang into action, knocking over the telephone and nudging toward Bennett. When she asked him to bring her paper, Danny brought over five pieces, including one with neighbors' phone numbers.
