- This story is the sweetest, a story of not giving up and helping one another.
- A South African couple's home security camera captured the moment one of their dogs rescued their smaller dog from drowning in the backyard pool.
- Byron and Melissa Thanarayen said they returned to their home in Boksburg, east of Johannesburg, to find Chucky, their toy pomeranian, was mysteriously wet.
- They checked their security camera footage for clues and discovered 13-year-old Chucky had fallen into their backyard pool while walking next to it.
- The video shows Jessie, the couple's 7-year-old Staffordshire bull terrier, circle the pool, watching Chucky struggle in the water.
- Jessie was eventually able to lift Chucky out of the water with her mouth. The whole rescue took about 40 minutes.
- The couple said they will be installing a cover for the pool to keep the dogs safe while they are not home.
