How do paramedics handle victim's dogs?

For example an elderly man is home alone and feels a heart attack coming on but manages to call 911 before passing out (not sure if that's an accurate situation but you get the idea). Anyway the paramedics arrive and the man has a protective German Shepherd in the house. How do the paramedics handle this situation?

  • They scramble. They will call the local Animal Control. They will call the local ASPCA. They call the police. Sometimes the paramedics will take the time to visit neighbors to see if anyone will help. Some nice paramedics will even take the dog home with them to make sure it is cared for.
