Dog Hitches Ride On Ambulance To Stay With Owner

Posted by | November 15, 2014 21:00 | Filed under: Top Stories


The pup, from St. Angelo, TX, didn’t want to be apart from his master.

Tanner Brown, an emergency medical technician, told the paper it was “a crazy ordeal,” after a driver had to flag down the ambulance to alert them to their extra little passenger. Buddy, a a 35-pound Beagle mix, had been perched on the ambulance’s small side step for the twenty-mile trip.

Brown told the Standard-Times, “We didn’t have anything else to do but to load the dog up and put him in the ambulance and take him to the ER with us.” So the pup traveled with his 85-year-old owner JR Nicholson, who called the ambulance because he felt dizzy.

    We had to tether my mom’s Samoyed to a phone pole when she had to be taken in an ambulance. The leash broke, and we had to use a huge chain to keep the dog safe from racing down dirt road in mountains after the ambulance. He did manage to put that pole about 10 degrees of its vertical, without any damage to himself.

    Two days later, mom’s doctor asked when my brother ‘Sam’ would be flying in to visit her in ICU, as she seemed very concerned about him. Told doctor Sam was the dog. He told us to bring the dog because he was worried the stress would kill my mom. Sam was held up outside her window daily when she moved to a regular room.

    Both of them went on to live and love each other for many years.

    When the dog graduates from NYU Law and becomes a *real* ambulance chaser I will be impressed!

    That’s somewhat impressive, but I managed to get re-elected Speaker of the House despite having the lowest approval rating in history. And I did all of it even though I am a monkey!
