After hearing the cat’s painful cries, this dog immediately acted. Despite the cat being a stranger to him, he didn’t hesitate to try and help him out.

When the pooch tried to approach the cat, he was instantly scratched. Since they were strangers to each other, the cat can’t help but act according to his fear and tried to drive the dog away with his claws. However, the dog did not give up on trying to reach for the kitty in the water.

Since there is no other way to save the cat, the dog decided to jump into the water.

With all the appreciative comments on Facebook, one of the commenters, Stephanie Richardson, wrote:

“Aww, dogs show us how to live right. He didn’t even flinch knowing that cat would hurt him, but he helped it regardless. If someone is hurting or needs help and you know there’s a chance you would get hurt would you still help?”

These things rarely happen.
