FOSTER DOG SAVES HEART ATTACK VICTIM - “Pug/Beagle-mix Joleen barked for help after her foster mom suffered a heart attack”

A two-year-old Pug/Beagle mix named Joleen saved her foster mom by getting help after the woman suffered a heart attack. Joleen was rescued through the Michigan Humane Society’s Detroit Center for Animal Care. After managing to get the attention of the victim’s son, Joleen continued to help her owner by licking her face. Here’s more from the Michigan Humane Society:

But on one day in early March, the hero was Joleen, a 2-year-old pug/beagle-mix, who is credited with saving the life of her foster mom, Mary-Louise Klatt of Shelby Township, after she suffered a heart attack.

Joleen’s barking and running back-and-forth in the house alerted Klatt’s step-son that something was wrong, so he could call for emergency help.  “And she kept licking my face, trying to wake me up,” said Klatt. “She’s my angel!”…Following her release from the hospital, Klatt couldn’t help but adopt the dog. Joleen officially became family on March 25.

Joleen was a rescue who ended up being the rescuer herself. She now has a permanent home with her foster mom. Click here for the full story and a video from the Michigan Humane Society.

ABANDONED BEAGLE WELCOMED INTO NEW FAMILY - “The elusive beagle who evaded would-be rescuers for days received her Valentine’s Day presents early this year — a name, a new home and a loving family.”

A Beagle, now named Sophia, was wandering around for days in the freezing temperatures of Jamestown, North Dakota, after having been abandoned by her former owners. Fortunately, she was rescued and brought to the James River Humane Society. Sophia has now been adopted and has a new home. Here’s more from The Jamestown Sun:

Concerned by the plummeting temperatures predicted to fall 20 degrees below zero, with wind chills forecast at minus 54, people from the Sheriff’s Office set out to catch and rescue the dog.

“(She) did not want to get caught,” said Detective Jason Falk of the Stutsman County Sheriff’s Office…Johnson, her Sheriff’s Office helpers and helpers from the Humane Society baited a trap with food and water and checked it every few hours, but the canny beagle simply strolled in, grabbed the goodies and left without springing the trap — for a whole day and a night.

She sprung the trap only after it had been readjusted, and was found in it and rescued at last on Feb. 2.

Now she’ll spend most of her days in the Schauer house, and when the weather allows she’ll have the run of the fenced-in back yard, too.

“She’s going to get lots of love,” Cindy said, before bringing the beagle home on Wednesday afternoon.

Johnson said that Sophia seemed ready to become attached to someone

After having a rough start to life, Sophia now has warm home with a family that will love her. Click here for the full story and here for more about James River Humane Society.

BYSTANDERS SAVE LITTLE DOG FROM ICY POND - “[T]he water was perhaps only waist-deep where the dog was clinging to the ice, so the man slowly walked out with the rope tied into a noose.”

A Beagle mix fell through the ice into cold waters at Long Pond in Maine. Several bystanders tried to save him by coaxing the dog towards a dock but with no success. Finally, a man waded out into the water and rescued the dog. Here’s more from the Morning Sentinel:

The dog then ran out onto the frozen pond and fell into open water around 100 to 200 feet offshore. Jacques said she and a few other people coaxed the dog into swimming back toward the dock.

They threw rocks at the ice in attempt to break it up, so the dog could reach the dock, she said. The dog came within 4 feet of the dock’s edge, but he struggled to climb onto the ice.

“It couldn’t seem to get its hind legs out of the water,” she said.

One man attempted to hook the dog with a tow line on the dock to pull him out, but that didn’t work.

Jacques said she told the man the water was perhaps only waist-deep where the dog was clinging to the ice, so the man slowly walked out with the rope tied into a noose. The noose came apart when he attempted to get it around the dog, but he was able to grab a hold of one of his paws and pull the dog up onto the ice and push him to the shore.

Fortunately, the dog is recovering at the Waterville Humane Society. Hopefully this beautiful dog finds a home soon. Click here for the full story. (Photo by Michael G. Seaman)

BEAGLE EATS MONEY - A Beagle named Arnie grabbed $300.00 from his owner’s purse and ate the bills.  The owners had to wait for the bills to pass through his system and fish the pieces out of his poop.  The bank has agreed to exchange the pieces for new bills.

This is my boyfriend, and our dog, Bella. She’s a two year old beagle. As my boyfriend and I say, “Who run da world?” “Bella”. Simply because, she does run the world. Or so she thinks. XD 

DOG REFUSES TO MOVE AFTER COMPANION DOG FALLS INTO SINKHOLE - This is a picture of Buddy, an 8-year-old Beagle, getting a hug from his owner after being trapped in a sinkhole for over 30 hours.  Buddy had been running around with his friend, a cattle dog. Area residents noticed that the cattle dog started to behave strangely by laying down on the ground and refusing to move. Later, it was surmised that the cattle dog behaved as such due to Buddy’s disappearance. Buddy was discovered and is now safely at home. (Story courtesy of the Hastings Tribune).
