I had to go to a separate article to learn that the guy was a drunk driver. Kind of puts a damper on the story. But, dogs are still remarkable.
NECN – Laundry crashed his pickup Monday night where Interstates 89 and 91 meet, in Hartford. He is now facing a drunk driving charge, police said late Tuesday.
A German shepherd named Tinsley, first thought to be a lost dog, successfully led New Hampshire state police to the site of its owner’s rollover crash.
Both the vehicle’s occupants were seriously hurt, but thanks to Tinsley’s dogged efforts they quickly received medical assistance once officers discovered the truck, which went off the road near a Vermont interstate junction, WMUR-TV reported Tuesday.
“The dog was trying to show them something,” said Lt. Daniel Baldassarre of the New Hampshire State Police. “He kept trying to get away from them but didn’t run away totally.
“It was kind of, ‘Follow me. Follow me.’ And they did that and you know, to their surprise to see the guardrail damaged and to look down to where the dog is looking at, it’s just, they were almost in disbelief,” he said.

Give that dog a Rescue Cask!
O.T. but the cops name reminds me of an old “Hip & Straight” joke which ended with “Archibald Barasshol”…… guess you had to be there.

A cat would have led the police to the cat food bag and left him for dead.
Smart dog, dumb ass owner.
The article didn’t say if the dog was in the truck during the accident.
Hopefully he can find a good body shop that can fix the truck since he probably can’t afford a replacement.
from the looks of the pics, it seems Laundry went through the spin cycle.
The dog probably felt guilty, since he was the one driving, because his owner was drunk.
Who’s a good boy?
Nicely done by the dog. That’s why I live with two of em.
So wait. The dog was drunk? I don’t get it.
