Dogs are a life saver for diabetic owner

Man's best friend proved to be a life-saver for an Indiana man who had a diabetic episode.

Bill Burns of Centerton was on his nightly stroll recently with his dogs Butch and Dusty when he passed out in a cornfield. He says what happened next is incredible.

Dusty stretched out across Burns as if to keep him warm and Butch grabbed Burns's flashlight in his mouth. That might have been the end of the story and Burns might be dead if it weren't for a Morgan County Sheriff.

Deputy Steve Hoffman stopped a speeding car on a nearby road and after handing out the ticket saw a flashing light in a cornfield. That light was coming from Butch.

Hoffman drove into the cornfield to investigate and found Burns lying under Dusty. Hoffman noticed Burns's bracelet and knew he was a diabetic. Hoffman got Burns breathing again and took him to the hospital.

Burns spent four days in the hospital recovering and is feeling fine now. Hoffman says all the credit for saving Burns's life should go to Dusty and Butch.
