查爾斯．密契爾說，上週他在奧勒岡州葡萄酒鄉亞席爾鎮的自家庭院裡工作時，一條11歲大、名叫「小姐」的臘腸犬跑跑跳跳，而且拒絕離開。
Mitchell told the dog to go home, but she refused, and when he decided to follow her across the street to investigate, he found his neighbor, Charlie Burdon, had collapsed inside his home.
密契爾叫這條狗回家，但牠不從，當他決定跟著牠到對街去查探情況時，發現他的鄰居查理．柏頓已在自家內昏倒。
The police chief arrived with paramedics, Burdon was taken to the hospital. Burdon suffered an attack of vertigo and is recovering.
警察局長和醫護人員一起抵達現場，柏頓被送往醫院。柏頓的眩暈症發作，現在逐漸康復中。
But Burdon and Mitchell, who have known each other for years, both said Missy is their hero.
