The contusion suffered during the fall caused Leana to immediately go into a grand mal seizure， and at that point Faith' s heroism kicked into overdrive. The dog retrieved the cordless phone with her mouth， and with her nose pushed the dog-friendly 911 speed-dial button she had been trained to identify. When the dispatcher， Jenny Buchanan， answered， Faith barked into the phone. She barked and barked. Most 911 operators are not trained to translate the woofing of dogs， but at the Benton County' s Southeast Communications Center， all calls must be acted on. Buchanan detected a pattern to the barks—they seemed to come after she spoke， as if the dog were somehow answering her. Deciding that this was not just background noise but a plea for help， Buchanan dispatched police. When the voice stopped coming out of the phone， Faith went back to Leana and did her seizure-response work， pushing her into the "recovery position" on her side， which cleared throat.
When the police officer， Corporal Scott Morrell， arrived， tripping the motion-detector light on the porch. Faith and Bronson watched from the window. Both had been trained to recognize the uniforms of police， firefighters and medical personnel not as intruders but as friends. With her nose， faith unlatched the special doggie lock on the door and let Morrell inside， barking as she ran to the kitchen， urging him to follow.
Leana was in the hospital for three weeks， accompanied by Faith for part of the time. But Leana never had a clear idea of her rescue. It wasn' t until she returned home and contacted Morrell and Buchanan that she was able to piece together the story of Faith' s amazing feat.
"It must be love and devotion，" Leana says."After that night our relationship changed. I think Faith discovered her purpose. And I found out who she was： a true angel."
