TORONTO – One loyal dog is probably getting smothered with love after his heroic actions.
A man in Springfield, Ohio got stuck in the mud while working on his duck blind in Buck Creek State Park on Saturday.
Shivering in the frigid, waist-deep waters in temperatures hovering around zero degrees Celsius, the unnamed man was immobile for two hours.
He was able to call for help on his cellphone, but rescuers were unable to reach him because the waters were too shallow for their boats.
However, they were able to bring a rescue rope to the stuck man by deploying his loyal dog out into the muddy waters.
Video of the rescue shows the dog bounding out towards his owner, creating a line for a rescuer from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to reach the man.
According to the Springfield News-Sun, the man remained in good spirits throughout the rescue and didn’t suffer any injuries.
