The pig who saved its owner after a heart attack
Jo
Ann Altsman suffered a heart attack while vacationing in the north woods
of Presque Isle, Pennsylvania, USA. LuLu, a housebroken Vietnamese Pot-Bellied
pig came to Jo Ann's aid. LuLu took one look at Jo Ann and after 'crying' for a
moment, she managed to push open the gate to get to a nearby road. Witnesses
reported that LuLu would wait until a car approached, then calmly walk out into
the road and lay down in front of the oncoming vehicle. When a driver failed to
stop, LuLu would return to Jo Ann to check on her, and then leave again to try
and summon help. After about forty-five minutes the determined pig finally
managed to persuade a young motorist to stop and follow her to the Altsman's
mobile home.
The man telephoned the emergency services and paramedics quickly arrived.
