Here is Jacques and his best pal, Annabelle. They have been together for years and they're inseparable, as you can easily tell.

When the elderly owner of the dogs faced a serious medical emergency and was rushed to the hospital, both of the pups escaped from the home. In the commotion of everything, the paramedics accidentally left the house door open.

The dogs, excited about their new-found freedom, headed off to adventure in the woods.

Not long after, Jacques approached a police officer in a nearby field.

The police officer noticed the dog was barking incessantly and appeared to be extremely agitated. It was as if the dog was trying to convey some sort of message.

"He'd bark. He'd come toward me, then he'd run away, and he continued to do this," Officer Christopher Bisceglia stated.

He knew he had to follow the pup and figure out what was troubling him so.

"At one point, he let me pet him as though he was trying to say, 'Ok, come on! Keep coming with me!'"

Soon after, the officer realized the cause of the problem...

While fleeing into the woods, Annabelle had gotten trapped under a fallen tree. Away from eyesight and amid freezing temperatures, it became very evident that Annabelle wouldn't have lasted much longer without immediate help from a human rescuer.

"And I got close enough and I ended up hearing the female terrier, was down the embankment stuck on a downed tree. She was trapped and surrounded by water and it was all ice of steep embankment so she couldn't get back up," Biscelgia said. 

She was so trapped that firefighters were called in to rescue Annabelle from her entrapment.

If it hadn't been for the heroic and brilliant actions of her best pal, Jacques, Annabelle would likely not have made it.

Annabelle was immediately taken to the vet and treated for some minor scrapes and later returned to her owner after she had been released home from the hospital.
