Looking out onto the lake one afternoon, a dog named Jax noticed something struggling to stay afloat. Not one to let another creature drown, he jumped into the water and became a helpless bird’s guardian angel.

The footage of this rescue is just as adorable as it sounds.

I think it’s pretty safe to say that this pup is a fuzzy hero. Thanks to one caring dog, a little baby bird was given a second chance at life.
