Dogs are sometimes much smarter than we give them credit for!
In New Jersey, a 6-year-old German Shepherd named Sadie is being hailed a hero after performing a miraculous rescue in a life-or-death situation.
Sadie's owner, Brian, was home alone when he suffered a stroke and collapsed to the ground, according to the Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge.
The rescue center said the adorable pooch saw Brian collapse to the ground, and knew her owner was in trouble.
The quick-thinking pup then licked at Brian's face to keep him awake and helped to drag him across the floor until he was able to reach for his cell phone and call for help, the shelter said.
"Sadie was the only reason Brian was able to call for help," the refuge wrote in a Facebook post. "This time, Sadie gave Brian a second chance at life."
While Sadie is currently staying with family to allow Brian to recover, the shelter says the two see each other every night via video chat!
