개띠해를 연 고양이
기분 좋은 소식이다. 초상집의 지붕위에 고양이가 올라가면 송장이 일어선다고
옛날 시골 어른들이 말씀하셨다 또 인간을 만물의 영장이라 표현하는 데 고양이를
유독 영물이라고 표현했다. 3년 동안을 고양이 한 마리를 데리고 교육시켜온 저혈압
환자가 휠체어에서쓰러졌다. 911에 구조 전화가 왔다. 911 대원이 집에 들어 왔을 때
침대에 쓰러진 이 외에는 유독 고양이만 전화기 옆에 누워있었다고. 주인은 고양이를
그의 영웅이라 칭하며 어떻게 번호를 두두렸는지 알 수 없다고. 평소에 교육을시키긴했는
데 얼마나 알아 들었는지는 모르겠다며 전화기에는 911로 이어지는 단축 다이얼이 달려
있었다고한다. 아주 기분 존 출발이다. 금년엔 자연을 좀 더 가까이할필요가 맀을 듯도,...
Cat Calls 911 to Help Owner, Police Say
Mon Jan 2, 6:39 AM ET
COLUMBUS, Ohio - Police aren't sure how else to explain it. But when
an officer walked into an apartment Thursday night to answer a 911 call,
an orange-and-tan striped cat was lying by a telephone on the living room floor.
The cat's owner, Gary Rosheisen, was on the ground near his bed having fallen
out of his wheelchair.must have hit the right buttons to call 911.
"I know it sounds kind of weird," Officer Patrick Daugherty said, unsuccessfully
searching for some other explanation. Rosheisen said he couldn't get up
because of pain from osteoporosis and ministrokes that disrupt his balance.
He also wasn't wearing his medical-alert necklace and couldn't reach a cord above his pillow that alerts paramedics
that he needs help.Daugherty said police received a 911 call from Rosheisen's apartment, but there was no one on
the phone. Police called back to make sure everything was OK, and when no one answered, they decided to check
things out. That's when Daugherty found Tommy next to the phone.
Rosheisen got the cat three years ago to help lower his blood pressure. He tried to train him to call 911, unsure if the
training ever stuck. The phone in the living room is always on the floor, and there are 12 small buttons ? including a
speed dial for 911 right above the button for the speaker phone.
"He's my hero," Rosheisen said.
