I want to up my game and have someone fake a break in.

This might be why the only time my dog really cared was when I was hyperthyroid and extremely sick. My heart was racing at 130 beats, I was sweating and had the worst headache ever. It happened quite suddenly and my dog has never been so patient with me.

Aww, what a good dog. He was trying to help.

After she sniffed my ass and dropped her bone on me, the Mastiff picked it up and started chewing it right next to me.

Oh well, at least she looks scary. 😭😭

Thanks PP! This is incredible! 😅😅😅😅😅

My Samoyed knows when we're not feeling well, and stays close to whoever is sick. But he's not going to bark to alert someone, or fetch somebody, if someone has a sudden accident - at least, he didn't when I tumbled down the entire length of the basement stairs with the laundry!

My dog would lay down for joint nap time.

I once had a terrible migraine while I was dog-sitting my SIL and brother's dog. The dog considered me her best friend. My migraine was so bad that I was laying on the office floor. She stayed with me the whole time. At times, she kissed me. When I would crawl to the bathroom to throw up, she would watch me.

Neither of my dogs (both are protective of the house) gave me more than a quick sniff and moved on. I didn't have it in my to fake it for a good hour and I kept thinking of the horror movie DH and I watched once where a guy died and his dog got hungry enough that she ate him.

Hahahahahah!

As a solo gal, I know for certain I’ll be dog food if I pass w/o being discovered for a few days. 😖😖

But, I’d like to know my pups would try to bark for help or scratch the door or something if I was rescue-able.

To the first PP: I totally believe dogs can sense when their owners are in true distress, but I’ve seen videos where dogs go for help when their owners fake passing out. 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

I bet they could tell you were playing!

I wanted to know if they’d think I was in distress and try to alert someone for help. (I live alone.)

My Mastiff sniffed my ass and dropped her bone on my head. The other dog sniffed me and did seem a little more concerned.

What would your dog do? Give it a try and let us know. 😅😅
