“It was really impressive, the dog actually blocked my way. She kind of backed into the road to block my truck,” Dryden Oatway, a vehicle driver who had stopped to help Moore, told CTV News.

“The whole time she was backing down the street she had eyes on Hailey; didn’t look away from her. She kept her distance from me but made sure her owner was okay and that was amazing,” he added. Soon an ambulance was called and Moore was treated by the paramedics, the website added.

Since being shared online, the viral clip has caught the attention of netizens with many lauding the dog’s reaction on seeing the owner fall.
