Pregnant teen’s dog saves day, and the baby
If being 15 years old and seven months pregnant weren’t trouble enough, Codi Robertson woke up on the family sofa earlier this month shaking uncontrollably.
Codi, before she blacked out, called for her mother, but her mother didn’t hear her.
Her dog Mickey did.
The 8-year-old Alaskan Eskimo dog woke up Codi’s mother, Debbie Denning, who found her daughter in the middle of what doctors would later say was a pregnancy-related seizure.
“She was not responsive, limp, sweaty,” Denning, of Idaho Falls, told Local News 8.
Denning called 911, and Roberston was rushed to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center, where her baby boy was delivered two months premature via C-section.
Doctors told the pair that both Codi and the baby could have died had Denning not reached her daughter when she did.
Codi said the baby, named Wyatt — 10 days old today — will be in the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit until November.
As for Mickey: “She’s one amazing dog,” she said.

Open your eyes. I’m not condoling teen pregnancy in any way but it does happen.

Good for Mickey. Now that Mickey has done his part, will Codi get baby Wyatt a dad?
