Panicked Pooch Leads Mom To A Pond, She Sees What’s In The Water, And Stops Cold

Perfectly in-tune pet owners know when their treasured pet is trying to tell them something.

Many times, it’s simple stuff like a desire for food or the need to go outside and take care of business.

But there are times when they’re trying to call attention to something that’s anything but routine…

Such was the case for Abby Leathers, the owner of an adorable rescue dog named Bruce, when she was home with her trusted companion one day.

Bruce was behaving oddly, and it was obvious that he wanted to get outside pronto for some reason.

He was even scratching at the door to get Abby’s attention, and it didn’t appear like this was a simple bathroom break, either.

So, a concerned Abby heeded Bruce’s call and let him outside.

He proceeded to take off like a bat out of hell, and Abby followed quickly to see what the trouble was.

Bruce led her directly to a nearby pond, cold and dark in the woods, and Abby immediately spotted an elderly woman that was knee-deep in the water.

Abby realized that the woman was confused and possibly lost. What’s more, she couldn’t communicate with her because the woman didn’t speak English.

However, she was still able to lead the woman out of the pond, and Abby carefully wrapped her up in a blanket to keep her warm.

Abby then called 911 and first responders were quickly en route.

Coincidentally, the woman’s family would call the authorities around the same time to report her as missing. 

The police didn’t have to look far, though, thanks to Abby and her amazing dog!

He’s a real-life Lassie! 😀
