The 12-year-old barbet was with her sitter, Christina Olsson, who was asleep. Suddenly, Hjördis started nuzzling her and jumped onto the bed.
"When I got up, I felt that my left side was gone and that I had a big lump in my throat. But I could still talk and call 112," Christina Olsson said in a press release.
She was treated quickly, minimising the effects of the stroke. Hjördis received the 2019 Swedish Dog of the Year award posthumously, having recently died at the age of 12. The award is presented by the Swedish Kennel Club and Agria.
