they were transported to the hospital for their injuries. as far as their condition, vermont state police was handling the aspect of the crash. but in my opinion, i m not a medical professional by any means, but the odds are given the temperature of that night and how long they were out there, it is still unknown at this point, the odds are i m not sure if they would have made it. that dog definitely saved their lives. if not, lessened the injuries they did suffer from the crash. what is the conversation like at the department? have you seen anything like this? no. i haven t. and it is we call it just like you just said, real life lassie story, someone is in distress and the dog is bringing that person to the owner. we have had calls, you know, for dogs on the road, other animals many times, but nothing to this extent where the dog wouldn t leave. but kept leading the trooper and
up the northbound side of the highway. and in an attempt to just get the dog off the highway, which is the number one priority so it didn t get hit, it tried to shoo it off the highway, the dog wouldn t leave. it was a little bit skiddish, wouldn t come up to the trooper, but the dog continued to run north and the trooper followed the dog. which ultimately led them to a section of guardrail damage, just over the memorial bridge, which is right over the line in vermont, and as they looked down the embankment, they could see a truck that was involved in a pretty bad crash, and two gentlemen laying outside the truck that had been ejected from the vehicle. seriously injured. and at that point suffering from hypothermia. this really is, like, lassie, going to get help for the kid who fell down the well or something. what is the condition of the people who were in the car at this point and would they have made it if they hadn t been found?
