Axis the hero hound

[Catherine]

Axis the dog saved a woman who fell in a river in northern British Columbia. Rescue workers couldn't reach her so Axis's owner sent him into the river to "bring" her. He was able to reach the woman and bring her close enough to the rescue team so they could bring her out of the water.

It is fortunate that Axis was trained by his people to "bring" if someone was lost or in the water. They were thinking of their own children. For the person that was rescued it was fortunate that Axis was there. She could easily have been lost.

Once again, a dog saves the day.

This is a great story. What a good dog you are Axis! It was wise that his people trained him to do that. He has a handsome face too!

He really is just a basic mixed breed hound too. He is just an ordinary dog who did an extraordinary thing. He went into the river to save a stranger. That is selfless bravery. He hasn't let his fame go to his head.

You are right, he has a beautiful face.
