According to foreign media reports such as ABC News on the 19th, a couple living in Virginia, USA, were able to save their 9-year-old daughter from an emergency last month with the help of their pet and diabetes detection dog ‘Spy’. Video = TikTok capture According to the video released through the couple’s social networking service (SNS), the couple was watching TV in the living room at the time. At this time, the spy started barking and wagging her tail as if she was restless, and the couple who saw this intuited that the spy was sending a ‘warning signal’.
The couple followed the spy’s movements and headed to their daughter’s bedroom, where she was sleeping on the second floor. During this process, the spy constantly looked behind the couple to see if they were following along. The couple then measured their daughter’s blood sugar level, and found that her blood sugar level soared to 338, which was a dangerous level. They took appropriate measures to avoid an urgent situation.
It was previously reported that these daughters were diagnosed with ‘type 1 diabetes.’ Type 1 diabetes means that the pancreas does not secrete any insulin, a hormone that lowers blood sugar levels.
Spy is a diabetes detection dog, and is known to be trained to recognize the physical and chemical changes that occur depending on the blood sugar level of diabetic patients and the specific smells that occur, and to notify people around them.
On this day, the spy is said to have sensed the risk of high blood sugar levels, which even the blood sugar monitor could not detect, and saved the life of his daughter, who almost fell into an emergency situation while she was asleep.
The couple, who barely survived the crisis with the help of their dog, expressed their gratitude, saying, “The spy always knows (dangerous situations). Even when my daughter is sleeping. It’s a great blessing to our family.”
