Dog in Lifejacket Rushes to Rescue Boy Drowning in River in Australia, Tows Him to Safety
A child almost drowned swimming near a river mouth at Port Noarlunga in South Australia last week, but amazingly, he was pulled to safety by a dog in a life jacket not a moment too soon. The pooch is being hailed as a hero.
Jamie and Rob Osborn had brought their dog, Max, to the river along with a few friends. There, they spotted a young boy, about 11 years old, in the water in distress.
“[He] got caught in the current and started to panic,” Jamie shared on Facebook on Jan. 22, after the incident. “Instead of swimming to the side, he tried to swim against it and was getting nowhere.”
Residents at council properties in Norwich have spoken out about antisocial behaviour, including drug dealing, human excrement left in stairwells and people having sex outside flats.
“I’ve found the makings of heroin, leftover needles, dog and human excrement outside my flat,” she said.
“One of my neighbours in her 60s, she was terrified to leave her flat because people were blocking the entrance. “I had to go and have a go, putting myself in harm s way and I’m quite old really.
“If someone decided to attack me, I would be a goner. It’s frightening.”
