Having a devoted buddy at your side is amazing. Animals have acute senses, so they can react to your requirements in an emergency situation rapidly.
Like the perceptive feline who is credited with saving the life of its 83-year-old owner who fell into a ravine.
On August 14, the Bodmin Police in England began looking for an elderly woman who had disappeared from the area. But they advanced rapidly because of an unanticipated source.
A local woman claimed to have heard a cat meowing incessantly in the corner of a large field of maize.
The missing woman’s cat, Piran, belonged to her, and the neighbor soon learned that he was trying to find her.
The 83-year-old fell quite far into the neighboring field’s embankment, it turns out.
“The elderly female had fallen approximately 70 feet down a very steep embankment, with extremely difficult access and uneven terrain,” according to Bodmin Police.
Bodmin Police and Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service moved quickly to save the woman and pull her out of the canyon after she went missing.
When she was lifted out, Cornwall Air Ambulance rushed her to the hospital. As long as she receives treatment, she remains stable and reported to be “in good spirits.”
“It’s a massive ‘well done’ to all the emergency services who worked together and to Piran,” the anonymous neighbor told the BBC. “The consequences could have been far worse.”
Though emergency services actually performed the rescue, Piran deserves a great deal of credit for saving his owner’s life. Given the woman’s age and the fact that the rescuers couldn’t see her, it’s easy to see how things may have gone quite differently if the cat hadn’t been so observant.
The cat has been hailed as a hero, with others exclaiming, “Piran the cat saved the day!” Facebook post from the Bodin Police.
Outstanding work, Piran! You definitely saved the day, so it seems that your vigilante mentality paid off. What a clever cat!
