Pants to the rescue for pensioner
Published: December 8, 2005
A woman trapped in the bath for nine hours managed to pull herself free with help from her two dogs and a pair of knickers.
Jeanne Bryant, 67, who lives alone and suffers from arthritis, feared she would freeze to death after getting stuck.
But after summoning one of her dogs to get the underwear she was able to hook the pants to a tap and pull herself up. [Dogspeak : How to Understand Your Dog and Help Him Understand You]
The Scottish Sun said Mrs Bryant had earlier broken her wrist and damaged her hip after falling on ice near her home in Ardgay, Easter Ross.
She began to panic after pulling the bath plug and realising she could not get out because her right arm was in a plaster cast and there was nothing for her left arm to lean on.
The pensioner shouted on her Border collies, Tess and Neil, to get towels, which she used as blankets.
She fell asleep but then woke up in the middle of the night shivering with the cold and began to worry her life could be in danger.
It was then she remembered a friend telling her about using pants to get out of the bath and called on Tess, who brought over the underwear.
“I had to use my left hand to lasso the tap with my pants and pull myself to my knees,” she told The Sun.
“But I was so weak I could feel myself wobbling. Then I felt the dogs behind me, pushing me forward.” [Dog Miracles: Inspirational and Heroic True Stories]
