Binyamin Yaakov, the man in distress, had ingested the painkillers to alleviate his severe back pain and after he collapsed, Stich seemingly understood the predicament of his owner and scampered outdoors for help.
Luckily, the front gate to Yaakov's house was open and the dog managed to go out into the street to attract attention. After several people gathered around the dog, Stich led them to Yaakov, who was lying unconscious on the floor. Passersby called emergency services and Yaakov was rushed to Ichilov Medical Center in Tel Aviv for treatment.
