The man started screaming for help, but his closest neighbor's house is a quarter of a mile away, and at that hour, there was no one around to help him. Luckily, his 5-year-old golden retriever Kelsey came to help. By morning his voice was gone and he couldn't yell for help, but Kelsey didn't stop barking. She kept barking for help, but never left his side. She kept him warm and alert.

Bob remained paralyzed in the snow for the next 20 hours. During this time, Kelsey did what she could to keep him alive, including lying on top of him to keep him warm and constantly licking his face and hands to help keep him awake. After about 19 hours, Bob lost consciousness, but Kelsey kept barking and howling for help.

Despite the dog's best efforts, Bob was probably going to freeze to death, if his neighbor Rick didn't hear Kelsey's desperate howling. He was taken to the nearest hospital, where doctors were surprised that despite the long period of time he had spent immobilized in the snow, Bob hadn't gotten frostbite (冻疮) to any of his hands and legs.

Spine injuries usually result in permanent paralysis, but Bob was incredibly fortunate. “The miraculous thing that happened is he started moving right away，” said Dr. Colen. “Most people with spinal cord injuries don't move. It's tragic and when it's done, it's done. I don't know if it was the cold temperatures or the fact he was lying down on the snow the way he was that may have helped him.”

Before the operation, he told Bob there was a big chance he was never going to walk again, but he was able to move his arms and legs the very next morning. Dr. Colen thought both Rick and Kelsey are_credited_with keeping Bob alive after his accident. “I think animals can help and his dog really kept him alive and really helped him; he was very fortunate，” the doctor said.

Bob's daughter Jenny said that Kelsey had remained home alone after her father was taken to the hospital. “I knew she was alone and in the house by herself，” Jenny said. “Rick let her out and fed our horses, but I knew I had to get to Kelsey because I knew how scared she must have been without him there.”

including at the grocery store, so when Jenny came home to check on her, she wasn't surprised to find that the dog had brought down nearly all of her father's clothes from upstairs and made a tent in the living room. She found her lying on top of the clothes. “ It's so emotional thinking about her and you could tell she was bringing everything she had of his to lie on，” Jenny recalled. “ She's the sweetest dog 试卷+教案+习题

and we all say how smart she is. She really proved that she's as smart as we thought.”

Kelsey was 6-month-old when Bob adopted her. She had been brought back to the breeder by her first family, because they had small children and didn't like her any longer. “The breeder was going to keep her and use her to breed, but Kelsey came up and jumped on my lap and looked at me and my dad. And I just said she was coming home with us and that she was not having babies the rest of her life for some breeders，” Jenny said. “ We always knew there was a reason we brought her home with us, and I think now we know why.”
