(May 9, 2014) -- A dog named Major is being called a hero after saving the life of his human, a U-S Marine Corps veteran from Zanesville, Ohio, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. The labrador retreiver-pit bull mix mutt called 911 when Terry McGlade collapsed from a seizure. Major is trained to sense when McGlade is going to have a seizure and to help him in situations where his PTSD causes anxiety. McGlade was injured when he was hit by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan. The dog was never trained to dial 911. The full story from WSYX-TV in Columbus, Ohio. [ Ссылка ]
