The beaches are very popular during the hot season. Many people and animals enjoy spending time in water and find it their dream to cool off. Unfortunately, accidents can happen. Open water can surprise even experienced swimmers. Max, a dog living in Port Noarlunga, Australia, risked his life to help two people he knew out of the water.
The dog had a difficult start. Only later did he appreciate what he had
At first, it didn’t look like Max would become a dog capable of sacrificing his own life for a human. The dog did not have an easy start in life. He was a homeless puppy wandering the streets.
The Osborns decided to adopt him. Max was very grateful to them, but he didn’t like tenderness. Caresses and cuddles that were too intrusive made the animal move away to the other end of the room. He valued his own business the most. However, over time this began to change. He even started sleeping next to the Osborns’ teenage son.
The whole family enjoyed spending time by the water each summer. Max was happy to accompany them on kayaking, snorkeling and surfing. His keepers decided to buy him a life jacket so the dog wouldn’t get too tired in the water.
The dog did not hesitate for a moment. He saved the lives of two people
One day the father took his son and Max to the water. The day was like many others – the family devoted every free moment to water activities. But this time horrible things happened.
The child strayed too far from shore and, even worse, he hit a strong current that pushed him into open water. The boy began to panic, which caused him to lose strength quickly, even more towards the shore.
Fortunately, Max noticed that his friend needed immediate help. The dog did not hesitate long. He quickly swam towards the boy and let him lean against his body. He looked like a professional lifeguard in his vest. He towed the child to the shore, where he could count on the help of adults.
The dog has become a hero
Max didn’t limit himself to helping his immediate family. As soon as the Nev was towed to safety, Osborn noticed that the boy’s friend was also in danger.
The dog immediately returned to the water and went to rescue another person. All the witnesses of this event were very impressed. He acted as a professional lifeguard. He was alert and responded immediately when needed.
The local community hailed him as a hero. Max doesn’t quite understand what this means, but he likes getting more treats than before.
For dogs, helping their masters often comes naturally. This isn’t just the case with dogs as big as Max. Even small individuals can do anything to help a human being. Living proof is Buddy’s york, whose heroic deed we described <HERE>.
