Chihuahua Saves Veteran Owner’s Life After He Suffers Stroke

A North Carolina Chihuahua is credited with saving his owner’s life last week, according to a report from WCTI.

Eighty-six-year-old Navy Veteran Rudy Armstrong survived a stroke after his little dog Bubu ran to get help. Armstrong lives alone with his furry companion in a houseboat in Oriental, a town in Pamlico County, but Bubu was able to lead a nearby dockmaster back to Armstrong’s home to assist the sick vet.

“I sat down in my chair, drank my coffee, and the next thing I know it was after lunch,” Armstong told WCTI about his ordeal, “I couldn’t even get my hand to move and my foot wouldn’t move.”

He also explained that he had instructed Bubu to get help from a dockmaster named Kim when he couldn’t reach his phone to call emergency services.

“I didn’t want to be there for a couple of days before somebody would come by, so I said, ‘Ok Boo-Boo, go get me some help,’” Armstrong said. (Read more from “Chihuahua Saves Veteran Owner’s Life After He Suffers Stroke” HERE)
