Canine Lifeguard On Duty

[SWHouston]

I admit that it looked like the Puppy may have been thrown into the Pool, but...

But even with that, think of the intuitiveness the Adult Dog had to come up with, to figure out he couldn't help from in the water, and got out and pulled the little guy out with is teeth.

I just don't know if a Dog can be taught/trained to do that (make that type of decision).

GEES, I envy the owners of that animal !

It looks like the big dog was trained to do exactly what he did. Rescue the pup from the water. He knew where the steps in the pool
were & he used those to get out & pull the pup to safety.

Of course the human impluse would be to do the rescue themselves, but I suppose that wasn't the point of this excercise.
