Tigulle sure is an observant dog. I’m glad he and his owner were able to save
the bird.

Iceland Dog Saves Unconscious Bird from Freezing

Many dogs will bark when they see a bird fly by. One dog in Iceland didn’t
bark, but made sure his owner noticed a small bird who had gotten knocked out.

According to the Iceland Monitor
<http://icelandmonitor.mbl.is/news/nature_and_travel/2017/03/24/dog_saves_unconscious_bird_in_iceland/>
, Gunnar Kr. Sigurjónsson was sitting at his computer with his balcony door
open when his dog, Tigull, began to whimper. Gunnar told the Iceland Monitor
that Tigull “wouldn’t stop until I followed him onto the balcony.” Once
outside, Gunnar saw a small redpoll stunned and still on the floor. Fearing the
worst, Gunnar picked up a straw basket and placed it over the bird.

Suddenly the bird “started fluttering about and sat down.” Gunnar brought the
bird inside to warm up and gave him some water and seeds. Soon the bird began
to tweet so Gunnar brought the bird back outside and placed him on the balcony
railing.

After an hour Gunnar noticed that the bird was still sitting on the balcony.
Gunnar said, “It was pretty cold outside so I decided to bring [the bird] back
inside for the night.” The bird spent the night with Gunnar and Tigull, resting
inside in the straw basket.

The next morning Gunnar saw that the bird was much more lively. Around noon
Gunnar released the bird back outside and he flew away. Gunnar was happy Tigull
had noticed the stunned bird and that he had let the bird spend the night
indoors. We bet the bird was grateful, too.
