Local Woman Saved After Companion Dog Alerts Waste Management Worker During Fall
A heartwarming story emerged from Aprilia on Saturday morning when a woman’s dog became her unlikely savior after she took a tumble in her garden
The woman, who relies on a walker for mobility, had likely ventured outside to allow her canine companion to relieve itself when the incident occurred. She fell and was unable to get back up, leaving her stranded on the ground for over an hour.
Unable to call for help, her faithful four-legged friend stepped in to alert a worker from Progetto Ambiente who had arrived to collect a waste bin.
The dog, sensing the seriousness of the situation, began tugging at the worker’s trousers in a desperate attempt to get his attention.
The worker, recognizing the dog’s distressed behavior, looked into the garden and immediately saw the woman lying helplessly on the ground. He quickly entered the property, providing immediate assistance to the woman before carefully helping her back indoors.
Once the woman was safe inside her home, the Progetto Ambiente worker contacted the local Carabinieri. In the meantime, a relative of the woman had been notified and arrived shortly at the scene.
Fortunately, the woman escaped the fall without injuries, and medical attention was not required.
Thanks to the quick thinking and devoted warnings from her dog, coupled with the prompt response of the Progetto Ambiente employee, the situation culminated in a heartwarming ending. This incident highlights the remarkable bond between humans and animals and the invaluable role that they can play in emergency situations.
It likely would have been a far more dire situation without the brave actions of the dog and the attentive worker who recognized the signs of distress.
