Dog That Dialed 911 To Save Owner Honored

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A 17-pound beagle named Belle is more than man's best friend. She's a lifesaver.

Belle is in Washington, D.C., Monday to receive an award for biting onto owner Kevin Weaver's cell phone to call 911 after the diabetic Ocoee man had a seizure and collapsed.

Belle had been trained to summon help in just those circumstances.

She was the first canine recipient to win the VITA Wireless Samaritan Award, given to someone who used a cell phone to save a life, prevent a crime or help in an emergency.
