Miss C's most recent Mental Floss article features 8 amazingly heroic dogs. My favorite story is the one about Belle, a beagle who has been trained to recognize when her diabetic owner, Kevin Weaver, should check his blood sugar levels. Even more impressive, she's may have saved his life when he went into a seizure by biting down on the #9 on his cell phone, which called 911. Now that's a good dog.
