Rudy Armstrong lives on a houseboat in North Carolina with his Chihuahua, Boo-Boo.
Last week when Rudy had a stroke, he couldn't get to his phone to call for help, so he told his dog to "go get help"...and that's what Boo-Boo did. He found the dockmaster who called 911.
Rudy was in the hospital for 5 days before he was reunited with Boo-Boo.
