Joe Stalnaker is shown with his German shepherd, Buddy.

L­i­s­ten­ to the r­ecor­di­n­g of­ Buddy’s­ 911 ca­l­l­

Police in Scottsdale, Arizona, released a recording yesterday of the latest call by 18-month-old Buddy when his owner suffered a seizure.

“Hello, this is 911. Hello . . . Can you hear me? Is there somebody there you can give the phone to?” the emergency worker asks.
