An ‘Incredible’ Alabama Dog Detects 5-Year-Old’s Low Blood Sugar 5 Houses Away

Mar. 15, 2025

An Alabama dog is receiving praise and a new toy for a job well done.“Watch this incredible alert that I make as I tell my mom that my girl is in trouble and needs our help for low blood sugar,” the dog Tracker “narrates” in a now-viralTikTok. “Here’s the thing, my girl’s not in the house. She’s five houses away playing inside with one of her neighborhood friends.”

“Now mind you, I did not walk my girl down to this house,” the narration notes. “I have no idea what house she’s in, she left on her own.”After exiting the front door, Tracker takes notice and sniffs the footprints in the snow that matched Paislee’s. A quick potty break later, Tracker walks down the sidewalk, smelling the path side-to-side. A few moments later, Tracker and his mom make their way to the porch of the friend’s house.“Little did I know my girl had already treated this low [blood sugar] before I came down,” Tracker’s narration says. “But I still had to see her in the flesh and know that my girl was okay.”

Next, Paislee and her friend visited Tracker at the front door. After getting some pets, Paislee returned inside to play some more. Tracker wanted to join the kids inside, but his mom blocks his way.“Mom made me go home, at least she gave me this really cool nice new bone that I love so much and such a big reward for doing an incredible job,” the narration says.

Instead of a service dog, the family could have opted for current technology to track Paislee’s blood sugar. However, insulin pumps and glucose monitors can be slow or malfunction. Tracker, on the other hand, is much quicker.
