Dog saves child's life first night with new family

On her first night with her new family, Sadie alerted them when a 2-year-old boy's blood sugar dropped dangerously low

A dog needed a family. And that family — while they may not have known it at the time — really needed a dog.

This is Sadie. Kathy Hines was trying to find her a home for about two weeks in early December. because her elderly owner was moving and couldn't take her.

Well, Kathy found her a home. And on her very first night there, she probably saved a young boy's life. That 2-year-old boy's blood sugar dropped to a dangerous level while he was sleeping.

Sadie started barking and woke up the boy's mom, who then was able to get him the care he deserved. She says he could have died. Kathy says it was a Christmas miracle.

Sure sounds that way. I say it all the time: animals just know. And, Kathy - thanks for getting Sadie a home, and letting us know about her.
