Angus the Scottie is rescue hero

When diabetic Michelle Clarke started fitting on the kitchen floor of her Bilston home, Scottie terrier Angus knew instinctively his owner was in grave danger.

His relentless barking alerted her neighbour Susan Green who rushed round and dialled 999 for help.

When paramedics arrived they told cleaner Mrs Clarke her husband would have returned home to find her dead had it not been for the alert sounded by their 12-year-old pet.

Mrs Clarke, aged 37, of Station Road, has been unable to work after breaking her foot, such was the ferocity of the fit which prompted Angus to sound the alarm.

But she is just grateful to be here after her blood sugar plunged dangerously low, triggering the hypoglycaemic attack.

Husband Andrew, a 48-year-old worker at Salisbury Poultry, had left at 2am to start his shift and was not due back for hours when Mrs Clarke collapsed at around 7am.
