HARTFORD, Vt. —A Vermont man is thanking his loyal — canine — companion after a crash on Interstate 89 this week.

 

Tinsley, a year-old Shiloh Shepard was spotted running on the interstate's Memorial Bridge that connects Lebanon and White River Junction around 10 p.m. Police initially tried to corral the dog but said they were eventually led to a damaged guard rail.

 

“Almost alerting them to what was off the roadway, which they discovered a truck which had been overturned with two gentlemen that were ejected from the vehicle,” said Lt. Daniel Baldassarre of New Hampshire State Police.

 

One of those men, Cam Laundry, was later identified as Tinsley's owner.

Both men were taken to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center to be treated. After Laundry was released he went home to spend time with his guardian angel.

After what, 20-40,000 years?, dogs and humans are now symbiotic species. We and our dogs are family, loyal members of the same pack, and family cares for and saves their own.
