Michael Douglas Barkhouse, M.B.
Bramber, Nova Scotia

On June 17, 2017, Michael Barkhouse rescued a woman who was being attacked by a dog in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. Mr. Barkhouse heard the victim screaming for help and immediately entered the outdoor kennel to aid the severely mauled woman. He physically separated the 75-pound dog from the victim and stood between them as the animal circled them aggressively. Moments later, the dog retreated and Mr. Barkhouse brought the victim to safety.
