Thank you to our national corporate partner Edward Jones for sharing this story. Dan is a financial advisor for the firm. And a special thank you to Gozier for her heroism.

A morning walk became a lifesaving mission. 🐾

Earlier this year, Dan DiCadilo was walking his dog Gozier when she began barking insistently. He tried pulling her along, but she kept edging him toward a nearby house.

Fortunately, she survived after spending a week in the ICU. The town of Ashland, Virginia officially recognized Gozier’s lifesaving instinct. “If it wasn’t for Gozier, I would have never stopped because I didn’t see anything,” said Dan.
