Hero Dog Rescues Girl From Icy River

Two young girls are alive and well today, thanks to the quick, selfless action of this hero dog, Rocky, and his owner Adam Shaw.

A pair of 9 and 10-year old sisters from Alberta, Canada owe their lives to a very special 4-legged hero and his owner! The young girls were tobogganing near the North Saskatchewan River in Edmonton on Sunday afternoon  when they ended up on the thin ice of the still-frozen riverbank.

Rocky, an 8-year old Lab/Husky mix and his owner, Adam Shaw, 27, were in the right place at just the right time to save the young sisters from certain tragedy. Adam was walking his dog Rocky near the river when he heard screams coming from the riverbank. When he spotted the girls, one of them was in the freezing water while the other tried to pull her sister out.

By the time he and Rocky reached the girls, both were in the water. Adam quickly pulled 10-year old Krymzen from the river, but 9-year old Samara was being pulled downstream by a strong current.

Unable to move her arms or legs, probably due to the extreme cold, Rocky was the girl’s only hope. The brave dog leapt into the river, letting Samara grab hold of his leash, and pulled the girl to shore.

Officials say that in only 2 more minutes in the freezing water, both girls would not have likely survived.

“If that man and dog weren’t there — I just try not to think of it,” Miranda Wagner, the mother of Samara and Krymzen, said in an interview with CNN affiliate CTV.

    I’m not sure exactly why but this blog is loading
    extremely slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or
    is it a problem on my end? I’ll check back later and see if
    the problem still exists.

    You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to
    be really something that I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I’m looking forward for your
    next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

    I drop a leave a response when I appreciate a post on a site
    or if I have something to add to the discussion. It is triggered by the sincerness
    displayed in the post I read. And after this article Hero Dog Rescues Girl From Icy River | The Dogington Post.
    I was actually excited enough to drop a comment 🙂 I do have a couple of questions for you if you usually do
    not mind. Could it be just me or do some of these responses look like written by brain dead individuals?
    😛 And, if you are writing at additional online social sites, I would like
    to follow anything new you have to post. Could you make a list every one
    of your shared pages like your Facebook page,
    twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

    Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
    I mean, what you say is important and everything.
    Nevertheless just imagine if you added some great visuals or videos to give your posts
    more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics
    and video clips, this site could undeniably be one
    of the greatest in its niche. Awesome blog!
