Lilo saves the day

[Eva (Lilo and Rocky)]

The dogs and I were out walking on one of our local trails this morning when Lilo suddenly stopped in her tracks, sat down, and looked up (both she and Rocky were besides me, offleash). She refused to move, so we all stopped and looked up - I didn’t see anything at first, but just then, a very large branch broke off a birch tree and crashed down on the trail right in front of us where it broke into several pieces!!! Lilo's hearing is obviously much better than mine. Phew, that was a close call. Had she not warned me, we surely would have gotten hit by the branch. She earned an extra treat for knowing how to alert me and for paying attention. I'm so proud of her!!

YAY!!!! LILO! What a smart puppy! It just amazes me how these dogs have such a keen sense of sensing danger... So glad everyone is fine!!!

Wow! Great job! Lilo!!

That's pretty cool Eva! What a girl Lilo!

[Debbie and Thomas]

Wow...what a special girl she must be. So happy everyone is all right.

[Eva (Lilo and Rocky)]

I am still in shock over what happened (or more precisely, what DIDN"T happen). So grateful I have such a smart dog. Despite all her crazy ideas and sometimes troublesome cleverness, she really is an amazing dog!

Good girl Lilo, warning your mom like that.

Animals often sense danger coming. whether they hear feel or intuit it. The animals in the areas of earthquakes and tsunamis often head for the hills before the event. Lilo obviously had some pre-warning. Good girl!!

Wow! Lilo is amazing! She really did save the day! I think a few more treats are definitely in order for your hero!
