Last October, Tatortot the pit bull got help for 4-year-old Peyton Anderson when he was able to smell that the boy’s glucose levels had dropped dangerously low and that he was nearly unconscious. Tatortot woke up Peyton’s mom by pacing around the room while whining and barking. Because of that, she was able to get Peyton to the emergency room just in time.

According to a Facebook group created for the dog, Tatortot was on death row at Minneapolis Animal Care and Control when Ruff Start Rescue pulled him from the shelter; he became a foster dog in Peyton's family.
