When a pit bull fell into a treacherous river in Tampa, Florida, he found himself trapped: He was unable to climb the wall back to safety, and subsequently began to panic. Fortunately, a rescue team was quick to arrive, but that’s not the amazing part: What’s incredible is what can be seen waiting with the dog, watching his back until he could be saved. When the Tampa Police Department arrived at the scene, they realized that the dog had a guardian with him. While pulling the dog to safety, they decided to snap a photo. What you’ll see below is proof that animals are just as observant and attentive as human beings, particularly in times of peril.
