Reason number 785 to love puppies.
A guide dog saved the lives of his two trainers earlier this week, when an out-of-control car came barreling down the sidewalk.
Todd Jurek, a veteran training supervisor at Guide Dogs for the Blind in San Rafael, California, was accompanying apprentice instructor Danielle Alvarado on a field test of guide-dog-in-training O’Neil.
As the three were walking down Fourth Street, O’Neil, an 18-month-old yellow Labrador, suddenly jerked his head back.
Seeing the dog stop and look back, Jurek says he glanced behind him to see what was distracting the canine.
What he saw was a black car driving in reverse, heading straight towards them.
Jurek quickly grabbed Alvarado, who was blindfolded, and pulled her and O’Neil around the corner with seconds to spare.
Shockingly, no one was hurt. Not one scratch, bruise or cut.
The 93-year-old driver, however, has to take her driving test over.
Which means one of two things. Maybe we shouldn’t drive after a certain age, or, maybe we should all just get dogs. We’re going with the latter.
