Have we ever mentioned that dogs are great? Dogs are great. Like this dog in this video, who sees what he perceives to be his owner drowning, so he makes a valiant attempt to jump in after him and pull him to shore. Of course, the water only looked like it was a few feet deep, but the dog didn’t know that! This could have been a life or death situation!
My 13-year-old Australian Shepherd actually used to do the same thing to me when I’d go swimming, back in her younger days — but unfortunately her rescue attempts mostly consisted of pushing me even further down in the water. Oh well. Can’t fault a dog for trying!
