Canada's 8-year-old boy saves people in the snow, and the script of life has changed since then!
Clayton McGuire, an 8-year-old boy in Ottawa, was praised for finding and rescuing a 70-year-old man who fell in the snow.
The Clayton family lives on Donald Street in the Overbrook neighborhood. On Monday morning, heavy snow broke local historical records at 12 centimeters per hour, and Clayton's school announced a one-day closure.
"Clayton, come and see the snow!" Even though I've seen too many life storms, this unprecedented snow still thrills Clayton's grandmother, Barb Dodge.
Clayton stood next to Grandma and looked out the window, his gaze falling on a snowdrift not far away, and then he found that this snowdrift... It seems like a person... Heavy snow is burying a man lying on the pavement!
Clayton immediately grabbed his coat and rushed out the door. When he poked his finger into this pile of "humanoid snow", there was actually a person lying inside!
Clayton quickly ran home and called out to his parents.
The McGuire family immediately dialed 911 and helped the man get up and sit down on a nearby step to rest, while Clayton took a hot drink and a blanket. Then the paramedics arrived.
Clayton's father, Joey McGuire, said paramedics said the man was in his 70s. According to the thickness of the snow covering this person, the elderly pedestrian may have been lying on the ground in the cold for 20 minutes or more, and the situation is quite dangerous.
Speaking about his son's performance, Joey said, I'm very proud of him.
Asked how he would describe his morning to friends at school, Clayton said: "I helped someone...
Grandmother Barb Dodge immediately corrected, saying that this is not just 'Help', in terms of probability, you are 'Saving' a person.
The boy's keen observation and bravery were also praised by the mayor.
Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson tweeted: Good clayton! Thank you for helping that person in the community, you are an amazing and very kind person.
Andre Molayma, a spokesman for the Ottawa Emergency Centre, said paramedics treated the man at the scene and that he refused to be taken to hospital... The man was able to be rescued thanks to the boy's keen observation.
Molema said anyone who dials 911 when they need help can be seen as a hero. Because, you changed everything.
Now that Clayton's life script has a new character, he sees himself as a "neighborhood watchman" who vows to keep an eye on all those in need.
