Dog’s rescue

The dog was rescued last week from floodwaters in southern Mexico. The rescue video of the pooch was later shared on Twitter and netizens couldn’t stop appreciating the people who saved the frightened dog. In the clip, one could  see the pooch clinging to a building as it desperately tries to stay afloat. 

The yellow Labrador was then seen taking support from a railing attached to a building as a rescue boat going through the neighbourhood spots it. Upon seeing the rescuers coming to his aid, the dog was seen moving his paws to the side of the boat as a man gently lifted him to safety. The video was shared by American basketball played Rex Chapman, who called the rescuers "heroes".
