A Branson couple were sleeping in bed when suddenly their dog began biting one of them. The dog was trying to warn them that something was wrong.

On Tuesday, Tracy Leach was already asleep when her dog, Rocky, began biting her hand around 1:25 a.m. She said during an interview on Ozarks First that Rocky would jump on Leach’s husband, Gil, and then jump back to drag her hand over to him. 

She finally got up to turn the light on and saw her husband flailing around in the bed. When Gil tried to get up, he collapsed to his knees. Leach ran and got her son and called 911. 

When the medical team arrived, they were able to diagnose that Gil was having a stroke. Gil Leach was transported to Mercy Hospital where he is recovering. 

The complete feature on Rocky can be found on the Ozarks First Website.
