I caught the last part of the video on msnbc, and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

What a wonderful act by that dog. It was very dark and a road in the middle of nowhere. Thanks for the link!

That dog and that trooper really were angels that night. Unbelievable that the dog knew exactly what to do, and that the trooper was so in touch to follow the dog. Great story! They are both heroes in my book.

My friend pays an increased insurance premium for having a German Shepherd. I think they should give her a discount for having one. Amazing footage, Amazing dog!
