HERO DOG SAVES LIFE OF ASTHMATIC OWNER

A hero dog has saved the life of her asthmatic owner after waking her up during a severe asthma attack. Donna Jeffrey, 32, was nuzzled awake by plucky pooch Storm, a five-year-old female German Shepherd, while she was struggling to breathe during an asthma attack - twice in one week. Amazingly, Storm has never been trained as an assistance dog.
