Laura Williams is a massive dog lover, so when she saw a stray wandering around in her Raleigh, North Carolina neighborhood, she knew she had to act.
“He was looking all lethargic and out of it and not really too well,” Laura told WBTW. “He let me put a collar and a leash on him, and he jumped into my car.”
This story is an old one – sometimes it takes a while for small-town news to reach us! Back in February, a woman nearly froze to death outside of her Germantown, Wisconsin home. But her black Lab, John Boy, frantically paced the neighborhood until he found just the right person – a police officer who got the woman back inside.
Sunday seemed like an ordinary day for visitors at the Davis Islands Dog Beach in Tampa. But when a dog nearly drowned, the right people happened to be in the right place to save her life.
Humans and dogs were enjoying themselves when suddenly they noticed that something was awry: Xena, a yellow Lab who had just gone in after a ball, hadn’t emerged from the water.
