Loyal pet dog alerts neighbors after owner falls down stairs

Loyal pet dog alerts neighbors after owner falls down stairs

2026-04-27

And a story from Keelung once again proves why dogs are man’s best friend. Last Friday, a woman in the city was heading home up a long flight of stairs when she suddenly collapsed and hit her head against the ground. Her beloved dog immediately leapt to action, barking loudly to alert neighbors in the area. The dog stayed by her side until someone finally came to the rescue and called the police and medical services. The woman was quickly sent to the hospital to get a checkup and was not in a life-threatening condition, thanks to her loyal pet.

- Is this your dog?
- Where do you live?
- Over there.
- You hit your head, you should see a doctor.

A brown dog refuses to leave the woman alone. She was going up the stairs when she fell and hit her head. Paramedics found her lying motionless on the steps with the dog. They quickly checked her injuries and helped her up.

- It’s swollen a lot, it’s dangerous.
- We should get you checked.
- Even if it doesn’t hurt now, maybe later…
- Let’s walk down slowly, OK?

The woman wasn’t too keen on seeing a doctor, but after some persuasion from the paramedic, she accepted and went down the stairs to be taken to the hospital. Her rescue was so quick thanks to her dog.

- The dog wouldn’t stop barking, asking for help. She fell and couldn’t move. She’d hit her head. So then…
- Someone found her?
- Yes

Neighbor
Keelung
She was on the ground with her head there, going up and facing over there.

The fall happened at a hillside staircase in Keelung last Friday. The dog that alerted neighbors was the woman’s mixed-breed pet of seven years. The woman says she suddenly felt dizzy and collapsed on her way home due to exhaustion. Her dog noticed something was off and barked for help until a nearby resident called the police.

Neighbor
Keelung
It’s her pet dog, and it’s very well behaved. They come out together. If she goes out, it follows her and if it can’t find her, it looks for her.

Su Ming-ko
Police officer
Police officers were quickly dispatched to the scene, as well as medics to take the woman to the hospital. Fortunately, she was in no life-threatening condition.

The woman was fortunately not in mortal danger after being taken to the hospital. Locals say her loyal dog is always nearby and in this case, its alertness saved a life, becoming a local hero.
