Brave Little Girl Calls 911 To Save Dad’s Life, And Her Conversation With The Dispatcher Is Cracking Everyone Up
Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Some time ago, Savannah Hensley’s father Frank found himself in trouble, experiencing chest pains and having difficulty breathing. He dialed 911 to get help, but just as the call went through, Frank lost the ability to talk. And that’s when Savannah stepped up. Back then, she was only 5 years old.
After the operator made sure that help was on its way, he tried keeping Savannah by her father’s side in case things took a turn to the worse. What followed next was probably the smartest and most adorable conversation a girl this young can have.
“Most people, when you talk with them, they’re so hysterical,” Hancock County dispatcher Jason Bonham, the man who received the call, noted. “Every time I’ve listed to it, it’s amazing. She’s just a little person.”
For nearly 10 minutes, Savannah stayed on the line handling a scary situation with courage. Scroll down to check out their exchange and tell us what you think about it in the comments!

I've heard of this story for a while now...it still gets me every time. I remember my dad's first heart attack (first of many) and it was the scariest thing of my life. He was saying his goodbyes on the way to the hospital and...ugh, I was freaking out. This girl is so brave!!

This!!!! This is why we need to teach children how to use 911 at an early age. You never know when disaster may strike.

Exactly, it's super important to teach them that, and how to handle the situation: tell your name, your location, stay on the line until they tell you it's okay to hang up... I remember they taught us all that in school almost 20 years ago (in Finland), I still remember the class as it was yesterday!
