A service dog saved his unconscious owner by putting him in the recovery position and going to get help!

Endal is perhaps the world’s most famous service dog. He was named “Dog of the Millennium” and received the PSDA’s Gold Medal for Animal Gallantry and Devotion to Duty (the highest award available to an animal). And for good reason.

Endal was trained by the charity Canine Partners for Independence. He knew over 100 commands, could retrieve items from supermarket shelves and could load and empty a washing machine. Endal became the service dog for disabled ex-Royal Navy Chief Petty Officer Allen Parton in the late 1990s. Parton had suffered serious head injuries during the Gulf War and was confined to a wheel chair.
In 2001, Parton was knocked out of his wheelchair by a passing car. He was unconscious so Endal put him in the recovery position, retrieved his phone from underneath a nearby car and covered him with a blanket. He barked at nearby dwellings for help and then eventually ran to a hotel to get assistance. Due to his fame, Endal became an ambassador for service-dog related charities and training.
