Sensing urgency in the Newfoundland's behavior, the individual soon realized the cause of the dog's distress—a white Retriever struggling in the water.

The quick-thinking bystander immediately alerted the Coastguard and sprang into action.

"The member of the public quickly raised the alarm for the Coastguard to be called, he then went down onto a boat in the Harbour and was able to grab hold of the dog as he was going down the Harbour in the flow of the river, at this point the dog was starting to go under so was lucky to be saved," Douglas Coastguard shared.
