Dog and Bone

I never thought I would see the day....
Attending a call to a village the other day with the Wizard. Just as we arrive, the Display receives a message to stand off the scene until the Police arrive as the patient is becoming violent. Now, the original call received stated that the patient had requested the Ambo, so, why then become violent? So, we remain with the vehicle just out of sight of the address.
After a few minutes a bedraggled female approaches the Amblebunce.
"Are you here for 'Gerty'?"(name changed) she asks.
"We don't know who we are here for", we reply.... after all, it could be the very lady we are there for. It wouldn't be the first time!
It transpires that 'Gerty' is inside the house, and is very agitated. The lady telling us this is very drunk indeed. Either that, or very potty indeed. So, we employed the most basic techniques to get her talking, and to glean whatever possible info we can about the lady in question. Unfortunately, part of this process required us to ask about the dogs that we could hear barking.
"They aren't nasty" she informed us,"but if you come near me, they will attack you".
Hmmmm... comforting.
"They love their mum" she continued. "The oldest one saved my life!"
Why did I have to ask. "How?"
"Well, I collapsed", she said, "and my alsatian dialled 999, and woofed down the phone." As if to demonstrate, she mimicked, "Woof... Wooof.... Wooof".
I looked at Wizard. He looked at me.
We looked to the heavens discretely.
I think he pinched himself to ensure that neither of us were dreaming.
At that point, we were glad to hear the arrival of the Police unit.
The rest of the call was pretty standard, once we knew the level of the field upon which we were playing, and we all withdrew, wiser for another day.
And for the Dogs out there.... are you that clever, or is it only dogs here in Anytown that can do that?


Woof. Woof
