A Shiloh Shepherd named Tinsley earned some extra treats Monday night after leading authorities to her owner, who was injured after a vehicle crash and in urgent need of help

Tinsley caught the attention of New Hampshire State Police when they responded to a call about a loose dog on the Veteran's Memorial Bridge, which spans the New Hampshire-Vermont border on I-89. Trooper Tom Sandberg and officers from the Lebanon Police Department located a large dog looking skittish and scared, said NHSP Lt. Dan Baldassarre."They were trying to get the dog off of the highway to keep it safe," he said.

Two men inside the truck had been thrown from the vehicle and were injured and hypothermic, Lagace said.Sandberg and the officers called for medical assistance and while at the scene, they learned Tinsley belonged to one of the injured men."This was almost like a real-life Lassie situation," Baldassarre said."It's really quite remarkable. This dog definitely saved their lives. I don't think they would have survived the night given the temperatures.
