Last Updated on August 26, 2022 by Pets Feed

Ruby is an assistance dog who saved her mother’s life by warning her of health issues she didn’t even know she had, and now that the woman is in the hospital, this loyal companion has refused to leave her.

Ruby came into Shauna Darcy’s life with the primary goal of staying by her side as a service dog to improve depression, agoraphobia and anxiety, and from the start she demonstrated her wonderful abilities. Even Ruby refused to leave her mother in the hospital after helping her detect her health issues.

The woman claims that since Ruby was training to be a service dog, she noticed she could detect changes in her heartbeat.

When Shauna was sick, the dog would start acting strange, kicking her, trying to get her attention, etc.

Thanks to Ruby’s strange behavior, Shauna decided to go to the doctor and there they discovered that she had some health issues, including a rare heart condition called Ehlers-Danlos Vascular Syndrome.

It was surprising for the woman to realize that Ruby knew something was wrong before she even knew it herself.

Every day, the dog helps his mother control her heart rate and blood pressure, calms her panic attacks and provides her with emergency medication. She is also responsible for picking up fallen items and retrieving items that her mother cannot reach.

Shauna told The Dodo:

When I pass out, she climbs on top of me, applies all her pressure and licks my hands and face until I respond.

Last week, when Ruby started alerting her mum that something was wrong, she felt fine, but decided to trust the dog’s instincts and called an ambulance.

When paramedics arrived, the woman was in pain and barely conscious, her heart was in atrial fibrillation.

At the hospital the doctors worked to keep her stable and Ruby refused to leave her, even when Shauna was unconscious Ruby was by her side in bed to make her feel like she was there for her.

Ruby managed to steal the hearts of many people in the hospital, she likes to greet everyone, but she always makes sure not to get too far from Shauna.
