Dogs have long been known for their loyalty and protective instincts, but sometimes they go above and beyond.
Matyas saves a girl from drowning in the ocean
Matyas, the rescue dog, had previously made headlines for his own heroics.
In August 2018, Matyas saved his owner’s granddaughter from what appeared to be a dangerous situation in the ocean.
While playing near the coastline of Gouville-sur-Mer in France, Matyas and the granddaughter were enjoying a sunny day by the water.
However, things took a turn when a large wave tossed the little girl underwater.
Believing she was in danger, Matyas instinctively sprang into action. Matyas grabbed the girl’s shirt and gently pulled her out of the water.
Despite the playful nature of the situation, Matyas’ protective instincts led him to ensure her safety.
His actions were filmed by the family, showing that Matyas not only recognized the potential danger but acted quickly to protect the child.
Although the granddaughter appeared safe and was smiling, Matyas’ act of heroism did not go unnoticed.
He displayed an unwavering commitment to his role as protector.
Matyas didn’t stop pulling until the girl was completely safe on the sandy shore. This heroic act, filmed by her family, stands as a reminder of the strong bond dogs share with their families. Whether playful or protective, Matyas showed that he was ready to do whatever it took to protect his loved ones.
The heartwarming video sparked discussion on social media
In the comments, many viewers praised the hero dog for saving the baby, while others suggested that this was a loyal act from the human’s best friend.
One person said: You can tell that dog will protect that family under all circumstances.
A second wrote: Awesome dog! He knew exactly what to do. It looked like he was being tested but he did a great job!
While a third commented: His fierce loyalty, his commitment to getting her completely out of the water, and her pure little giggle….
Another added: What a beautiful animal. So loyal and intelligent. This brought tears to my eyes.
Paddy the therapy dog, saves boy from drowning in pool
In another remarkable tale, Paddy, a therapy dog, saved an eight-year-old boy from drowning in a New Zealand pool.
Ross Parry, the young boy, became trapped in the handrail while swimming at Thorndon Pool in Wellington.
Ross was struggling to stay afloat and in danger when his loyal Labrador, Paddy, alerted his owner, Liz Gasson, to the situation.
How Paddy alerted his owner to the emergency
Paddy, who helps his owner Liz Gasson manage her multiple sclerosis, was sitting by the poolside when he noticed Ross struggling. He nudged Liz, directing her attention to the boy in distress. Thanks to Paddy’s alert, Liz was able to free Ross with the help of others and get him safely out of the pool.
A heroic dog and his unbreakable bond with his owner
Ross and his sister had been calling for help when lifeguards were occupied with other children. Thanks to Paddy’s quick action, Liz was able to get to Ross just in time. After the rescue, Ross expressed his gratitude, calling Paddy a “superhero.”
Liz also praised Paddy, noting how he sensed trouble before anyone else.
From Matyas’ brave rescue at the beach to Paddy’s life-saving instincts in a pool, these dogs prove time and time again that they are more than just pets—they are true heroes.
