Tony Bailey a 12 year old boy was saved from drowning by his black labrador retreiver.

Tony Bailey went for his usual swim in the river. But due to recent heavy rains the water was choppier than usual and was pulled under. When Tony cried for help no one was around to hear his cries. Except for his black lab named Jake.

Jake jumped in the water swam over to Tony, let Tony grab onto him and then swam back to land. Tony Bailey’s mom Diane said that she was just amazed since Jake isn’t the most obedient dog. But it appears that in the sign of trouble, Jake knew what needed to be done. I imagine that Jake will never get yelled at again for causing mischief.

I have a yellow lab at home and can relate, my dog doesn’t listen or follow my commands, but at times she will amaze me with the little things that she does. I can only hope that should would come to my rescue in times of an emergency.
