A dog named Diesel helped save the life of a man who fell through the ice at Quarter Mile Pond in Massachusetts, Boston 25 News reported.
The man had crashed through the ice on his bike. Stranded and panicked, he needed help. Luckily, Diesel noticed.
The 5-year-old German Shepherd started barking at his guardian, Thomas Walsh, and directed Walsh’s attention to the struggling young man in the water.
Walsh, who had been wearing headphones, said he wouldn’t have heard the man’s calls.
“He’s the hero today, because without him seeing or hearing him, I would have just kept walking,” Walsh told Boston 25 News.
Walsh called 911. He tried to coach the 22-year-old to shore, but the man kept falling through the cracking ice. Another passerby arrived and joined the rescue mission. Walsh tied Diesel to a tree, where the dog waited patiently as the two men tossed a tree branch to the young man and pulled him safely to shore.
Emergency responders arrived with two divers and an ice sled, according to Stoneham Fire Department. The man was taken to the hospital for treatment, with a full recovery expected.
“We are grateful for this outcome and for Diesel alerting his owner that something was wrong,” said Fire Chief Matthew Grafton.
Lady Freethinker applauds Diesel for his lifesaving attention to detail and Walsh for his quick thinking to save this young man from drowning.
What’s New…
Dogs are a gift from God. Hallelujah!
There still good people out there that care for animal thanks you for your support
Disgusting, evil and inhumane
Superhero
Yup.
Diesel, Walsh and the passerby are real heros.
I feel we should not be bringing animals into this world if people are going to abandon and abuse them. Stop the Puppy Mills and those horrific places in Asia where they eat dogs and cats that could be spreading this Pandemic. If people cannot take care of their children then there should not be pets to suffer at the hands of irresponsible adults.
I applaud for Diesel too and many kisses for Diesel! Thank you, Diesel and bravo!
My entire family loves animal. One of my Twin daughters currently has 6 rescued dogs and the second one has 4 rescued cats. My dear 3rd daughter, Opal, is an old most loving and devoted mixed little dog.
Keep up the good work looking for the best welfare of all animals.
No surprise, Diesel is a GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG, the best hero dogs in the world!
Animals are so smart and so loving. How anyone could abuse, be mean, starve or act in a violent or negative manner is beyond my compehension!
A great hero
Deserves a medal and lots of food.
Prison to all of monsters who hurt God’s creatures,
Amen Amen Amen 🙏 ❤️🌹
Why is mankind so against some of these animals. They are part of the family. People should have a psychological test before adopting a animal of any type for their safety. God forgive people (monsters) for their evil side or way of life. Prison for all of them, Amen Amen Amen 🙏 ❤️🌹
Les animaux valent souvent mieux que bien des humains, ce chien en est une preuve!!!!
Great doggie!
