John Miles, from Dorchester, Mass., was out walking Lucy, an 8-year-old husky-beagle mix, late last month when they both were hit by a car. Boston police say the car was speeding when it hit the pair.
Miles, who suffered two broken legs, a broken arm and 15 facial fractures, says he blacked out and doesn't remember what happened.
But Lucy limped to a nearby dentist's office and barked for help and then limped back and stayed by John’s side until emergency crews arrived.
"By the time the police and animal control officers arrived," the Angell Animal Medical Center said in a press release, "Lucy had braced herself against the nearly unconscious John, refusing to leave his side even as he was lifted into the ambulance.
