Owners dog leads police to house fire! (Dashcam Video)

Ah, from Neatorama:

A 23-year-old Alaskan was in his workshop when a heater unexpectedly ignited some chemicals, and the building suddenly burst into flames. For help, he turned to his dog Buddy:

“I just told him, ‘We need to get help,’ and then that’s the last time I seen him,” Heinrichs told the News-Tribune. “I didn’t train him or nothing. He just took off and went and did what he did. … He was just being a good dog.”

It’s a good thing Buddy sprung into action because trooper Terrence Shanigan, who was responding to the call about a fire, was having trouble with his vehicle’s global positioning system, which wasn’t working properly, reports the News-Tribune. “Shanigan, who almost took the long way around the neighborhood, came across Buddy on Caswell Loop Road,” reports the News-Tribune. “The dog took off, and acting on a hunch, Shanigan followed the dog down a side road.”

The budding young chemist received minor flash burns. Buddy will be receiving a silver-plated dog bowl.

I'm torn between "too soon" and "too funny"

I'm torn between "damn you beat me to it!" and "that so could have been my comment".
No clue what I'm talking about here, but surely modern airplanes would carry some global positioning system that would allow them to be trackable by satellite? Assuming no electrical malfunction, I can't understand why it'd be difficult to position them using that.



Not to be morbid, but I don't think GPS works at the bottom of the Atlantic ocean.
