A little girl in a light blue dress can be seen walking towards a water pond. When she bends down on the edge of the bank to retrieve a ball from the water, the dog runs towards her and drags her back to safety.

Moments later, the dog goes into the water and brings back the ball, presumably belonging to the little girl. The video has generated a flurry of reactions for dog lovers around the world. While many users hailed the dog as a “good boy”, some called him a “hero”.
