Saved by a Newfoundland Dog

This Sunday started quietly, with only the Danish ferry boat and a little Australian Terrier to interest me. Then I heard screams and shouts for help coming from the water. Yes there was someone in trouble having fallen from the Harbour wall........................The Newfoundland dog excels at water rescue, due partly to their webbed feet and amazing swimming abilities.

Excellent documentation of the event. It is exciting to see the rescue dog at work.

Thanks for posting images of why dogs shouldn't be eaten (referencing an album that for some reason was in the top albums).

A very nice gallery Ken - obviously, in the right place at the right time. The dog portrait is superb. V

They should take you in their rescue team, at least from time to time, such great reports will make them famous :) A great report! V
