A teen who suffered a spontaneous stroke got the help he needed before it was too late thanks to the family dog, who alerted the teen’s parents that something wasn’t right.

Klein Oak High School senior and varsity athlete Gabriel Tanner, 17, lives in Spring, Texas, with his parents, Amanda and Daines Tanner. Gabriel has two biological siblings, and the Tanners are also foster parents. Axel, a 1-year-old border collie mix, is one of three beloved family dogs who saved Gabriel’s life one Saturday morning.
