They say a dog is a man’s best friend.
In the case of Darren Cropper, from Bonfield, Ont., his three-year-old Siberian husky and golden retriever mix named Bear literally saved his life.
"He’s loyal to the end," said Darren, a Canadian Armed Forces veteran.
On a quiet night on Aug. 29, 2022, around 4 a.m., Bear woke up Darren’s wife Janice by pouncing on her and howling in her ear. The commotion also woke up their son.
That's when Janice rolled over and noticed her husband wasn’t in bed.
"I got up. I thought maybe he was having a coffee sitting down here watching TV," she said.
