Sounds like an episode from Lassie. "Timmy fell into the well?"

Belle the beagle is a VIP -- a very important pooch, and she's being honored in Washington as a lifesaver.
Kevin Weaver is a Florida man who suffers from diabetes. When he had a seizure and collapsed, Belle bit into his cell phone, hitting the 911 auto dial button.
Weaver said there's no doubt in his mind that he would be dead if not for his four-legged best friend.
The Orlando Sentinel reported that Belle is the first canine recipient of the VITA Wireless Samaritan Award. It's given to a person, or now a dog, who uses a cell phone to save a life.
