Dogs enjoy any adventure, especially if they are with their humans. However, precautionary measures have to be followed to prevent unforeseen circumstances from happening. The owner should always keep in mind that the safety of his or her dog is the topmost priority when engaging in outdoor activities.
This unnamed man forgot this basic principle when he decided to go kayaking with his beloved pooch. The man was not able to calculate the strong waves, so the pooch went out of balance. It was a difficult time for the man because he did not know what to do.
Good thing, help came when Vasco Velez saw the incident. Vasco is a board rider and was quick enough to lend a helping hand to the beleaguered pooch. When people learned about the situation, they gathered and started to shut. The people were yelling and cheering at Vasco, who was rescuing the pooch.
When he came to the rescue, Vasco saw that the pooch was struggling. The man then continued to swim towards the direction of the pooch. Soon enough, he was able to grab the poor dog and put him to safety. Good thing, the dog was cooperative during the entire rescue operation. The poor dog was struggling but was determined enough to save his life.
Velez did not expect that he would be instrumental in the rescue of the pooch. Even then, he is thankful and happy that he was able to rescue a pooch in need of help. Throughout his rescue operation, Velez was filming himself.
He then uploaded the footage on social media and sent a stern warning to dog owners. Velez said that there is nothing wrong with engaging in extreme sports with dogs. However, dog owners should practice due diligence so accidents will not happen, Velez said.
