[00:00:00]On December 3rd, 2018, a ring camera captured one of the craziest miracles we've ever seen. Maureen Hatcher, an elderly woman with two Labradors, collapsed in her home when she started having a stroke. When she told her dogs she needed help, they somehow understood and ran out the front door across the street to alert her neighbor.

[00:00:16]Immediately, her neighbor ran over to discover her [music] front door swung open with Maureen lying on the ground unresponsive. She calls 911 and when paramedics arrived, they sent Maureen directly to a stroke center rather than an ER where they discovered and removed a blood clot she didn't even know about.

[00:00:30]The craziest part of the story is Maureen having accidentally left her front door open, swearing she always keeps it locked. If it hadn't been for [music] her mistake and brave Labradors, there's a chance they never would have discovered the blood clot.
