MARIN COUNTY, Ca. - The neighbor of a California man who brought home a pound puppy says the young dog led her to an accident scene where the man was pinned for hours in a wrecked vehicle.

Actually, that's a sh!tty lead. How's this:

A young dog saved his owner's life just weeks after the owner
saved him -- by bringing the young cocker spaniel home from a pound.

Monday night, rescue crews were able to extract Michael Bosch, 63,
from his mangled SUV and transport him to the hospital, where he is
expected to survive.

The story began some weeks earlier when Bosch picked up Honey, a cocker
spaniel puppy who had been brought to the pound by an owner who could no
longer afford to care for her.

Bosch and the dog became fast friends, and Honey frequently rode with
Bosch while he was driving his white SUV.

But on Monday, Bosch was backing the vehicle up on his property and went
too far, and it tumbled down into a steep ravine, landing on its roof.

The car ended up out of [sight of the main road], and Bosch was tightly
pinned against the steering wheel, unable to escape, and badly injured.

Honey, unhurt, was able to eventually escape the vehicle after Bosch was
able to get a window open. He reportedly told the small dog to go for help.

Half a mile away, [Bosch's neighbor] Robin Allen was at home when the dog
suddenly appeared [in her driveway], and according to Allen, the dog lead her to the crash site.

When Allen discovered the scene, she immediately called for help.

At last report, Honey was waiting for Bosch to come home.

Warm fuzzies all around.

That is really sweet! I've heard stories of dogs saving their owners from drowning, but this is amazing.

That's like an episode of Lassie all over!

"What's that, boy?"
"bark, bark, bark, bark"
"I need to follow you over to the ravine?"
"bark bark bark bark"
"Your new boss is trapped in the wreck of his car?"

Great story, though.
