Check out this frightening but ultimately happy video that a security camera captured when a hero dog saved a pup that fell into the family pool!
Our pets do amazing things, and this particularly impressive act of love and smarts happened all the way across the world in South Africa!
Meet Chucky and Jessie. These two are dog siblings, and their human parents are Bryon and Melissa. Bryon and Melissa explain what is happening in the video, but they didn’t observe any of this terrifying event in real-time.
They watched it all after returning home and found that little Chucky’s head was wet. That’s when they reviewed the video footage and learned exactly what had happened while they were out!
Tiny and white, precious Chucky is 13 years old. At the very start of the video, we see him stumble into the pool near the steps. Within moments, Jessie comes into the frame, having seen what has taken place.
As Chucky is trying to stay above water along the edge of the pool, Jessie follows him—evidently, formulating a plan for getting her bestie out and offering moral support until she does!
Poor pup Chucky doggie paddled for 34 minutes, but, ultimately, big, black Pit Bull Jessie saved her brother!
Though she doesn’t like water, Jessie stayed with Chucky and began working to gently pull Chucky from the water. Jessie made several failed attempts, tugging at Chucky’s ear and fur to lift him from the pool.
Though it was hard for Bryon and Melissa to watch their beloved dog Chucky in distress, they were extremely proud of Jessie and how hard she worked to save Chucky!
Jessie’s continued efforts paid off, and she did get Chucky out and onto dry land!
Both dogs are doing well and are fast friends, probably bonded even more after this crisis. Bryon and Melissa have ordered a pool cover to prevent future accidents, and Jessie, originally a rescue dog, was awarded for her valor!
Awe, a happy ending for these two faithful friends! We’ll take that every day!
“A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.” Proverbs 17:17
