Dog saves Pune based doctor's life

Pune: Dogs are a man's best friend and this Pune dog's brilliance has only made this fact more believable. In an instance of pure love and bravery, a dog in Pune saved his 65-year-old master's life. Dr Ramesh Sancheti (65), might have died due to a heart attack if his beloved dog, Brownie, had not acted in time and alerted their neighbour.

According to Pune Mirror, Sancheti lives in Pune city with wife and son and had brought a stray dog in from his society a few years ago and named her Brownie. While Sacheti takes care of the dog, she lives in the campus of the doctor's apartment. On January 23, Ramesh Sancheti was alone at his home when he suffered a cardiac arrest and collapsed in his room after which he was left partially paralysed. Dr Sancheti needed to be taken to the hospital immediately but there was no one at home.

The dog saw him in this condition from outside the window and immediately alerted their neighbour, one Amit Shah, reports Pune Mirror. When Shah, who often feeds Brownie, came to her she refused to eat and kept looking inside Dr Sancheti's bedroom. It was then that Shah realised that something was wrong.

After Shah looked inside the window, he saw Sacncheti lying on the ground. Shah then broke open the door and rushed Sancheti to a nearby hospital.

Sancheti's wife was in Mumbai, while his son was in Bavdhan area of Pune and daughter in the US when the incident took place. It was 16 years ago that Sancheti brought in Brownie as a pup and cared for her. Probably the sense of gratitude led the dog to save her owner's life.
