‘Real-life Lassie’: Tinsley the dog leads police to her injured owner, saving his life

Dogs really are man’s best friend, especially Tinsley, a Shiloh Shepherd. She  led New Hampshire police to her owner, who needed medical attention after being injured in a vehicle crash.

On Monday, New Hampshire State Police were called in about a loose canine, but when they arrived, Tinsley continued running down Interstate 89.

The authorities were led directly to a damaged pickup and realized the driver and passenger had been “ejected from the vehicle and were hypothermic and seriously injured,” according to state police.

“This was almost like a real-life Lassie situation,” Lt. Dan Baldassarre told CNN. “It’s really quite remarkable. This dog definitely saved their lives. I don’t think they would have survived the night given the temperatures.”

Tinsley, a Shiloh shepherd, led authorities to her owner who was in need of medical attention after a car crash.

Tinsley’s owner, Cam Laundry, said he’s grateful Tinsley came to his rescue after the crash.

“She’s my guardian angel,” Laundry told CNN affiliate WPTZ. “It’s a miracle that she had that kind of intelligence to do what she did.”

Tinsley “the brave” will be rewarded with her favorite things: treats, meat and attention.

“She gets spoiled all the time,” Laundry told WPTZ. “She’ll get some venison, probably burger, tonight and probably some back scratches with it.”
