Just over one year ago, the Moore family rescued a Maremma mix dog named Clover. Fast forward a year, and Clover returned the favor. Now she truly is their lucky 4-legged Clover.
21-year-old Haley Moore was walking Clover in their Ottowa neighborhood on Tuesday morning when she began to have a seizure.
"All I remember is waking up in the ambulance and being really confused; just like what is going on," Moore said.
What happened in between was nothing short of incredible.
Video from a neighbor’s front door camera shows Clover saving the girl's life, first checking on her owner, then watching as a car passed by Moore. Moments later, a second vehicle approached. This time, Clover freed her leash from Moore’s grasp before moving to block the truck’s path, forcing the driver to stop.
"It was really impressive, the dog actually blocked my way. She kind of backed into the road to block my truck," said the driver, Dryden Oatway.
The 21-year-old quickly got out of his truck to help Moore; watched by Clover the whole time.
"The whole time she was backing down the street she had eyes on Hailey; didn’t look away from her. She kept her distance from me but made sure her owner was okay and that was amazing," Oatway added.
Oatway tried to get help from a nearby neighbour before returning to tend to Moore. Eventually Clover caught the attention of a second neighbour who stopped to help.
"Immediately I just stopped and I jumped out of the Jeep and I asked Dryden if everything was okay and he was like, "I don’t know, she fell,"" Danielle Pilon said.
It was only after Pilon arrived that Clover went to get more help.
"You could tell she didn’t want to leave her even when we were with her but I think it just came to her that she was like 'I need to go home to let them know she needs help,'" Pilon said.
