Dogs Are More Than Just Pets

A policeman was driving on an icy road late at night. It was snowing and he couldn't wait to get home to his wife and daughter. 
But he came to an abrupt stop when he saw something in the middle of the road. It was a dog. He honked twice hoping that would scare it away but the dog didn’t move. It looked at the policeman and somehow the man knew the dog wanted him to follow him. 
The policeman pulled over and got out of the car. He couldn’t see very far ahead of him due to the snow and it was very slippery. But the dog jumped up when he saw the policeman walking over. The dog took off running to the side of the road. There was a ditch that couldn’t have been seen by somebody just driving by. 
And a truck was in it, flipped on its side covered in snow.
Inside the truck was the dog’s owner and their friend. The policeman rushed over and was able to get them out safely. They explained that their truck had rolled off the road due to the ice and had landed sideways in the ditch. Their dog had miraculously been able to get out of the truck but both of them had been stuck. They had thought that they would die. 
But somehow the dog had saved them.
