Chihuahua saves owner’s life when he has a stroke

An 86-year-old Navy veteran named Rudy Armstrong lives on a houseboat in Oriental, North Carolina with his Chihuahua, Boo-Boo.  Last week, Rudy had a stroke and he couldn’t get to his phone to call for help because he couldn’t move one of his arms or legs.  So, he said, quote, “Okay, Boo-Boo, go get me some help,” and Boo-Boo did!

She went running off the boat and brought back the dockmaster, who called 911. Rudy was in the hospital for five days before he was reunited with Boo-Boo.  Quote, “I’ve got tears running out of my eyes.  Missed her so much, man.”
