The Walsh family wanted to share their story to let the world know positive outcomes are possible after cardiac arrest – especially when you have Indiana the dog your side.
Her pet parents Ken and Nicky Walsh shower her with love and treats. In fact, they said for the past few years, she gets the royal treatment because they credit her with saving Ken's life in February of 2020. Indiana was just 6 months old then. "I heard her growl. She doesn't growl," Nicky said. "If it hadn't been getting my attention in that moment, it would have been minutes before I realized something happened," Nicky said.
"It's pretty rare in medicine that we can't find the cause of something at the end of the day," said Dr. Eugenia Gianos, director of cardiovascular prevention at Northwell Health.
