It’s incredibly uplifting when people lend a helping hand to animals, yet some go the distance to save the day. These outstanding individuals truly exemplify selfless acts of kindness and compassion.
In an incredible feat of strength and ingenuity, a band of students successfully rescued a pup from the depths of a canal by suspending themselves upside-down.
Jack Spencer Furmston and Ben Camphor, two twenty-year-olds in Manchester, England stumbled upon a stranger desperately needing help while they were making their way back from the local coffee shop.
According to MailOnline, Batu Akyol watched in distress as his beloved dog Sumak plunged into the Ancoats Canal. In a desperate attempt to save her pup, he clutched tightly onto the leash with all his might.
When Jack and Ben noticed the dog battling to stay put on the wall, they chose to take action. “The scene was chaotic,” Ben said in an interview with MailOnline. “I knew I wouldn’t be able to stand by idly and watch this pup suffer, so I quickly spread my coat below him for a softer landing.” Through their combined efforts, both men were successfully able to rescue the dog from its precarious situation.
Inspired by Ben’s bravado, the others gathered to help with a daring rescue mission: without hesitation, he dove head-first over the wall as five of them held firmly onto his feet.
Defying gravity, Ben hung upside-down to rescue the pup from the perilous water and bring him back to safety.
Dabhidh MchicEamailinn captured the rescue mission on camera and shared it with everyone on Twitter. After they managed to save the pup from danger, jubilant cheers echoed in the background.
