Lexi the Great is a True Hero

A dog's hearing is amazing but truly wonderful that little Lexi the Great knew when a human was in trouble and knew to get him help! :)

"Lexi The Great may not wear a cape and tights, but to the folks around her Brooklyn home she's a real hero. The 5-year-old pooch, a Bichon Frise, lived up to her name on Wednesday after she helped rescue an 85-year-old neighbor who collapsed in his Bay Ridge apartment and lay on the floor for hours."

Linda Deutsch, 45, was taking her perky, white pet out for a walk about 8 a.m. when Lexi refused to get on the elevator.
Thinking Lexi was just being ornery, Deutsch pulled on her leash, but to no avail. Lexi just kept pulling away from her and toward Apartment 4-L.

Deutsch finally let her dog lead her there and that's when she heard Charles Postler, a deacon at nearby St. Patrick's Church, calling for help.

"She kept pulling away," Deutsch recalled. "I didn't hear anything at first, but then I heard the cry for help."
Deutsch called the building super, Ilija Kerculj, 54, who opened Postler's door. Inside, they found Postler on the floor, incoherent and clearly in trouble.
Postler usually carries an emergency alarm seniors can use to call for help, but the chain on the device had broken and he wasn't wearing it when he fell, his son said.

Postler remained hospitalized overnight and will likely be sent home today.
"People say that dogs are man's best friend and this proves it all over again," the son said.

Deutsch is equally proud of her hero pet.
"I was mad at her the day before because I caught her drinking my coffee I left by the sofa," she said. "Today she makes me so proud. She is a hero."
