Dog Saves Its Own Life By Dialling 999
Here's the opening paragraphs of the Huffington Post story...

After George, the two-year-old Basset Hound from West Yorkshire, England, got so tangled in a phone cord that he began choking, the frantic pup somehow managed to alert the authorities by dialing 999 -- the British equivalent to 911, the Sun reports.
Concerned by the heavy breathing on the other end, the emergency operator dispatched police to the home.
Since George's owners, Steve Brown and his daughter Lydia, weren't home, their neighbour let the police into the house, where George was choking on the living room floor.
"He was absolutely terrified and could not free himself," Walker told the Sun. "I knew I had to get him free quickly so I just ripped the wire out. Incredibly you could see where his paw print was on the phone to ring 999 -- he literally saved his own life."
