A November Incident
PexelsIn November, Milo’s sixth sense picked up when Makayla was on her way out to go wedding dress shopping with a friend. She took Milo out before leaving, but the dog quickly raced off.
His Destination
PexelsMilo rushed to the house across the street and began frantically pawing and barking at the front door where Makayla, upon running after Milo, heard a faint noise coming from inside the house.
They Saw Sherry
PexelsMakayla recognized 85-year-old Sherry Starr’s voice. She called 911 and the paramedics arrived to see the old woman stuck between the toilet and the tub, unable to move.
The Story
PexelsAccording to Sherry, she thought she heard the doorbell at 4 AM. She said, “I have a habit of never opening the front door. All of a sudden, standing there between the toilet and the tub, I slipped. I went down — hard — on the tile floor.”
Hopeless Situation
The Washington Post, John Kelly“I could not move at all. You couldn’t even put a piece of paper between me and the tub. I’m thinking: I’m just going to die here,” Sherry said, but thanks to Makayla’s intuitive dog, Milo, the old woman is alive and well.
