A video showing the bold move of a bulldog who is a poor swimmer has gone viral.

A dog named Zeus jumped into the river to save his puppy, after which the owners had to rescue him after he almost drowned.

The video clip has already become a real hit on the Internet – to date, it has been viewed more than a million times on YouTube alone, and many animal lovers online admire Zeus’s courageous act.

Filming took place in the municipality of Ruiz in the northern Mexican state of Nayarit. We see the moment when the puppy is thrown into the water, and his father jumps after him. According to the owners, Zeus was afraid of water, but this time he decided to overcome his fear.
