- (DPA) -- A doctor's pet dog saved the life of his collapsed
master in China by turning up on a neighbour's doorstep with tears in his
eyes, a news report said.
-
- Village doctor Liu Jianyao collapsed with a burst artery
as he returned from a house call in the early hours of the morning, the
Hong Kong edition of the China Daily reported yesterday.
-
- His dog, which always followed the doctor on his calls,
ran to a neighbour's house and pawed at the door and barked until someone
came to the door.
-
- The neighbour said that, when he opened the door, the
dog had tears in his eyes. The dog then led him to where his master was
lying, the newspaper said.
-
- Rescuers say Dr Liu, from Heyuan in southern China's
Guangdong province, would have died if the dog had not managed to get help
to him in time.
