Harry Smith, an eighty-one-year-old man in Florida, was saved from drowning in a lake by his beagle mix, Sarah Jane, who alerted bystanders with her barking. Two strangers, Edward Suhling and Aby “Jacob” Chacko, jumped into the water to rescue Harry Smith after his wheelchair rolled into the pond, with Sarah Jane's help.
Sarah Jane's quick actions in sensing her owner's distress and the strangers' heroic rescue efforts highlight the strong bond between dogs and their owners in times of danger. Sarah Jane began to bark loudly, capturing the attention of Edward Suhling, 58, who was working on a trailer with Aby “Jacob” Chacko, 49.
“Sensing his owner was in trouble, his dog began to bark loudly, which alerted two bystanders across the street,” the Port St. Lucie police department wrote in aAt first, Suhling thought the dog was being attacked by an alligator. Then he saw Smith’s head poking out of the water. Suhling and Chacko ran over to the pond, flagging down a police officer along the way.
“As soon as I got here I saw the wheelchair and the dog and I recognized that’s Harry and I know he can’t walk,” Chacko said. Smith was in terror fighting for his life in the pond.
“My legs don’t work,” he said. “I can’t push. ”“The dog was splashing in the water,” Suhling said.
“So we both ran over here and I jumped in the water, and my buddy grabbed his arms and I grabbed his legs and we got him up on shore. ” After Smith was safely out of the water, the police officer administered medical attention and he was cleared to go home. Unfortunately, his wheelchair didn’t work, so the officer pushed him back to his home.
The Port St. Lucie Police Department later called Suhling, Chacko, and Sarah Jane heroes on its Facebook page.
“We are thankful for Mr. Smith’s dog and the two bystanders that helped save his life! ” the police department wrote on Facebook.
“And as the saying remains true…A man’s best friend is his dog.. “Everybody in this neighborhood loves her, they all look out for her. ” After the pair made it home safely, Smith was sure to give his dog a treat.
“I love her, always have, always will,” he said. While the dog’s heroics are pretty amazing, Sarah Jane knew that Smith was in danger and sprang into action for a couple of reasons. Aif they think their owner is in trouble. For the study, owners called out to the dog while appearing to be trapped inside a box.
The dogs often attempted to free their owners after hearing them cry for help.at Dogster, Beagles aren’t known for their love of water, and if they can swim, it doesn’t mean that they enjoy it. They can learn how to swim, but they aren’t natural swimmers. The story of Sarah Jane and her guardian Harry Smith proves, once again, that we just don’t deserve dogs.
