A Labrador chased after a walker to get help after its owner suffered a seizure and collapsed.
A 71-year-old man was out walking his dogs on Braithwaite How shortly after 11.30am this morning when after passing another walker he had an apparent seizure, collapsed and became unconscious.
One of his dogs, a black labrador, ran after the passing walker, barking to get her attention and tried to get her to return, which she did.
She found the other dog, a golden retriever, lying by the unconscious man. The woman called 999 for assistance and Keswick Mountain Rescue Team responded by sending out a vehicle with other team members also making their way to the scene.
By the time the team had arrived the man had regained consciousness and after an assessment by a team medic he was able to walk down the hill to an awaiting ambulance. He was then taken to hospital for further checks.
