This is the inspiring moment a five-year-old boy who just learned how to swim rescued his two-month-old puppy from drowning.<\/p>\n
Surveillance footage shows the tiny German shepherd looking at its reflection in the water before losing its balance and falling in.<\/p>\n
Despite clamouring to make its way out of the water, it’s dragged into the centre of the pool – and lay helpless for a terrifying 15 minutes.<\/p>\n
The poor pup even suffered hypothermia as its temperature fell to just five degrees.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The two-month-old puppy stumbled into the water after looking at its reflection in the pool<\/p>\n
But the heroic young boy went into his back garden and, without even a thought, leapt into the water to rescue the dog.<\/p>\n
In just a few seconds he used his upper body strength to pull the puppy to safety.<\/p>\n
A grown-up then noticed the fracas and sprinted outside to retrieve the pair, rushing the dog into the warm house.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It then floated motionless for a terrifying 15 minutes, suffering dangerous hypothermia too<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But the brave boy wandered outside and spotted the ailing dog – and quickly stepped in<\/p>\n
The incident, which took place in July 2021, got new attention after going viral on TikTok.<\/p>\n
Far from injuring the boy or the dog, their relationship is now stronger than ever, his cousin said.<\/p>\n
The boy’s older cousin posted the footage, captioned: ‘Make my cousin go viral, he deserves it.<\/p>\n
‘Today the dog is safe and sound and very happy.’<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In seconds he jumped into the water and rescued the pup, despite being an amateur swimmer<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A grown-up, who may be the boy’s mother, then ran over to help the pair out of the cold pool<\/p>\n
The clip has received more than 4million plays and almost 500,000 likes.<\/p>\n
She added in the video: [The dog] was drowned for 15 minutes. He was 5 degrees.<\/p>\n
‘[My cousin] had just learned to swim and jumped in.’<\/p>\n
In a follow-up post, she filmed the pair cuddling warmly together.<\/p>\n
She wrote: ‘Eight months later, they are like this.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
