Rottweiler Bruno saves Devan from diabetes tragedy
Three-year-old Bruno, who was bred by Mr Lawson and his family, sensed that young diabetic Devan Crawford was on the verge of having a seizure because of low blood sugar.
And he saved her life when he alerted Devan’s mum, Karen, by licking the youngster’s face and sitting by her side!.

Hide AdKaren (30), of Glenrothes, Fife, in Scotland, said: “Devan is a type one diabetic and has to inject insulin twice a day.
“Bruno is very protective of her. He saved her life because he sensed she was about to hypo. She had just been released from hospital and had been really ill.
“She was lying on the couch and Bruno was all over her, watching her and pacing up and down and sitting by her side. He started licking her and managed to get my attention to go over and check on her.
“It is quite amazing he can sense things that humans cannot.
“It is thanks to Bruno that we got to her in time.”
And Mr Lawson (63) was equally delighted.

“It was so unexpected. It’s not everyday you find out that a rottweiler has saved a little girl’s life.”
Bruno’s parents, Magic and Diesel, still live in Mexborough and belong to Mr Lawson’s mother and sister-in-law respectively.
