Rescue Dog Leads Police to Save Injured 84-Year-Old Owner

A 13-year-old rescue dog named Gita guided deputies to her owner who had fallen and was stranded for hours in rural Washington.

Deputy Wright of the Stevens County Sheriff's Office discovered Gita sitting in the middle of a remote road, prompting him to investigate.
Gita refused to enter the deputy's vehicle and instead led him up an unmarked roadway to her injured owner.
The 84-year-old man had fallen and injured his leg near a cabin, and had been calling for help for hours.
The man had other medical conditions that required regular medication, making the timely rescue critical.
The Stevens County Sheriff's Office praised Gita's loyalty and heroism, crediting her with saving her owner's life.
