A Group of Construction Workers Save a Drowning Puppy from a Canal
A construction crew in Pasaje Canton, Ecuador, turned an ordinary workday into a rescue mission when a puppy slipped into a fast-moving canal. The workers spotted the dog in danger, grabbed a digger, and moved fast before the current could pull her under.
One of the men climbed into the excavator bucket, reached the terrified puppy, and pulled her to safety even after she bit his hand. The whole scene was caught on video, and once it hit the internet, people could not stop talking about the workers' quick thinking.
Here is how the rescue unfolded.
Construction workers in Pasaje Canton, Ecuador, received a radio call about a dog in the canal.
The dog was almost about to let go because, with the force of the water, it hit the bucket and wanted to go under it,” the hero explained. “Then, what I did was grab the dog, and it bit me, but only with a slight bite.”
They knew it couldn't survive in the rapid waters, so one of them climbed into the bucket of a digging crane.
That was the moment the rescue really got tense.
And if you think that was intense, watch the man give CPR to a blind dog after it fell in the pool, in this viral clip.
With little regard for his safety, he managed to grab the dog.
And take it to safety
The emotional scene was captured on tape, and it quickly went viral online, garnering millions of views and at least as many enthusiastic responses to the workers' lovely gesture.
The video begins with a person climbing onto the bucket of a digger crane, which transports him to the canal's midpoint. The man snatches the dog and places it in the machine with him after waiting a few seconds for it to approach.
Despite the tremendous flow of water, the construction worker saved the dog by yanking it out of the drain without regard for his own safety.

Another worker said the team acted fast once they realized the puppy was in trouble.
An innocent soul was saved and given a second opportunity thanks to these brave men. The builders not only saved the puppy, but they also gathered enough money to transport her to the vet for treatment.
They even made sure she got medical care afterward.
True heroes. In every sense of the word.
