Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is pretty good at the Internet. Hell, he may be the best at the Internet. Case in point, The Rock just posted a picture of himself in a pool in a wet shirt, holding two adorable French bulldogs with a story about how he saved one of them from CERTAIN DOOM. Jeez dude, the Internet is for everybody. Stop trying to break it.
Anyways, without further ado, this is what peak Internet looks like…
“Here’s a fun Labor Day weekend story. We just decided to add two new members to our Johnson family. Baby French Bulldogs. In my right hand is BRUTUS and in my left hand is HOBBS.
Bring them home and immediately take them outside so they can start learning how to “handle their business and potty like big boys”. I set them both down and they both take off in a full sprint and fall right into the deep end of our pool. HOBBS immediately starts doggy paddling while BRUTUS (like a brick) sink heads first to the bottom of the pool.
I take off into a full sprint, fully clothed, dive in the pool, swim to the bottom, rescue my brick, I mean BRUTUS and bring him back to the edge of the pool. He was a little delirious.. took a moment, threw up all the water he swallowed and looked up at me as if to say, “Thank God you didn’t have to give me mouth to mouth!” and then ran off to play with his brother.
A few lessons I’ve learned today. A) Not all puppies have the instinct to doggie paddle. B) Some puppies (like BRUTUS) will be so in shock by experiencing water they will sink extremely fast so react quick. C) While spiriting to save your puppies life, before you dive in, try and throw your cel phone to safety. Don’t keep it in your pocket…like I did.”
Welp, it’s time for Hollywood to option the true-life story of Rock’s French bulldog rescue. I can see it now — obviously The Rock would play The Rock, Mark Wahlberg would voice Hobbs, Jonah Hill would be Brutus and H. Jon Benjamin could be Rock’s phone. For a title, I’m thinking The French Connection III: Rock and a Wet Place. Don’t act like you wouldn’t watch the hell out of it.
