Buddy brought the troopers

in what dogs do

Buddy the German Shepherd near Anchorage, Alaska, ran to get help when a fire started. For his services he’s to be presented with a special award:

Troopers say Buddy and his owner, 23-year-old Ben Heinrichs, were in the family workshop when a heater ignited chemicals. Heinrichs told Buddy: ‘We need to get help.’

The dog eventually found a trooper responding to a call about the fire.

The State Troopers are presenting a special award Friday to the dog. Buddy will receive an engraved silver-plated dog bowl in Anchorage.
