A doctor's pet dog saved the life of his collapsed master in China by turning up on a neighbour's doorstep with tears in his eyes, a news report said.
Village doctor Liu Jianyao collapsed with a burst artery as he returned from a house call in the early hours of the morning, the Hong Kong edition of the China Daily reported yesterday.
His dog, which always followed the doctor on his calls, ran to a neighbour's house and pawed at the door and barked until someone came to the door.
The neighbour said that, when he opened the door, the dog had tears in his eyes. The dog then led him to where his master was lying, the newspaper said.
Rescuers say Dr Liu, from Heyuan in southern China's Guangdong province, would have died if the dog had not managed to get help to him in time.
