7-Year-Old Calls 911, Helps Save Family Member's Life | April 28, 2025 | News 19 at 10 p.m.
SUMMARY: Seven-year-old Maddux Kendrick from New Market showed remarkable bravery by calling 911 when his stepmom, Megan Douglas, who has epilepsy, suffered a seizure on New Year’s Day. While playing video games and watching TV, Maddux noticed Megan fell and was having a seizure. Calmly, he first called Megan’s mother and then 911, providing precise information and helping the operator monitor Megan’s breathing until EMTs arrived. His quick thinking likely saved her life, as she later had another seizure and might have suffered worse alone. Maddux received a Good Samaritan Award for his courage and presence of mind, making his family very proud.

This week’s Hoover’s Hero is a little man who showed big bravery in the face of an emergency.

Pet of the Week: Toby, the Poodle-Mix
SUMMARY: Toby, an eight-month-old poodle-shih tzu mix, is the Mobile SPCA’s Pet of the Week. Playful and full of energy, Toby has beautiful curls and a fun-loving personality. Despite looking adorable, he is still a puppy and requires some training and plenty of playtime. Toby was brought to the shelter because his previous owners found him too much to handle. He’d thrive in an active home with a human or another dog to keep him company. Toby is described as clean and well-behaved. Interested adopters can apply through wkrg.com.
