Massachusetts boy credited with saving grandfather's life

A 9-year-old boy was credited with saving his grandfather's life for calling 911 as the grandfather suffered a medical issue in Somerset.

"Kazin, age 9, remained calm, dialed 911 and was able to describe his grandfather's symptoms and provide other valuable information that assisted first responders in providing necessary medical treatment," Somerset police wrote in a statement after the January 2019 incident. "As you can see, Grandpa is doing much better! Kazin, all of us here at the Somerset PD are super proud of you!"

I hope this Grandad is ok now. What a relaxed kid. At 9 I would have been crying.
