DOG HERO IN ACTION: Boxer Pup Reggie Saves French Bulldog Yogi from Deadly Seizure
This is the kind of heart-stopping, tear-jerking, unbelievably real story that reminds us why dogs are truly man’s—and dog’s—best friend.
A brave 16-month-old boxer named Reggie just became an internet sensation and real-life hero after saving the life of his housemate, a French bulldog named Yogi, who suffers from severe epilepsy. And yes, the entire thing was caught on video.
It’s shocking. It’s beautiful. And it’s the most uplifting thing you’ll read all day.
The Scary Seizure That Started It All
It all happened when Yogi began seizing at home—alone. Well, not totally alone. His human mom, Sarah McArdle Strilka, wasn’t home, but Reggie was.
And thankfully so.
Yogi, who has been battling severe epilepsy, fell into a seizure—a dangerous one. In many cases, dogs with epilepsy can aspirate (inhale vomit or fluid into their lungs), which can be fatal if left untreated or unnoticed.
Reggie, the 16-Month-Old Boxer, KNEW What To Do
That’s when Reggie sprang into action.
Despite only having witnessed one seizure before, the boxer instinctively knew his little buddy was in trouble. Instead of panicking or barking helplessly, Reggie:
- Held Yogi upright to stop him from choking
- Kept moving him to prevent fluid buildup
- Stayed by his side for THREE HOURS until Sarah got home
Let that sink in. Three straight hours of protective, instinctive care—by a pup who’s barely out of his own puppyhood.
“If It Wasn’t For Reggie, Yogi Would Be Gone”
When Sarah returned home and watched the footage from her pet camera, she was absolutely floored.
“As soon as Yogi started seizing when I wasn’t home, Reggie jumped into action,” Sarah shared.
“If it wasn’t for Reggie, Yogi would not be alive today.”
Can we get this dog a medal already?
The Moment That Melted the Internet
Sarah shared the emotional footage online, and it didn’t take long before the world saw what a hero Reggie truly is.
In the now-viral video, you can see Reggie nudging Yogi gently, keeping him propped up, and never leaving his side. He is alert, patient, and protective—traits many humans struggle to maintain in emergencies.
People from around the globe began commenting:
- “I’m crying. Reggie is an angel.”
- “This boxer deserves a statue.”
- “Dogs are too good for us.”
- “Reggie didn’t just save a life—he saved a family.”
How Did Reggie Know What To Do?
Experts say that dogs have strong emotional intelligence and instinctual care behaviors, especially in close-knit households. Boxers in particular are known for being protective, attentive, and loyal—especially with children and other pets.
Reggie had only witnessed one of Yogi’s seizures before, but clearly his instincts took over.
It’s also likely that Reggie smelled or sensed the seizure coming. Some dogs have even been trained to alert their owners about impending seizures before they start.
Sarah’s Gratitude and Yogi’s Recovery
Sarah, understandably, is beyond grateful for her boxer baby.
She told friends and followers that Yogi is recovering well, and they’re working with their vet on next steps for his epilepsy.
But one thing’s for sure: Reggie will NEVER be just a dog again.
“He’s my hero. He’s my family’s guardian angel,” Sarah said. “I’ll never be able to thank him enough.”
What’s Next for This Dog Duo?
Fans online are already calling for:
- Reggie to get a dog hero medal
- A TV appearance on national morning shows
- And even a feature in a children’s book or animated series!
For now, Sarah is just hugging her pups tighter—and encouraging other pet parents to watch closely, install cameras, and know the signs of seizures or health risks in animals.
