Storm the Hero Dog!

What began as two dogs getting taken for a walk became a dramatic rescue when a young deer was spotted struggling in the waters of Long Island Sound, New York.

Whether by instincts or empathy, one dog leaped into heroic action.

The owner of Storm, an English golden retriever, knows he’s loyal and caring, but on Sunday morning, Storm really surprised him.

“Storm just plunged into the water and started swimming out to the fawn, grabbed it by the neck, and started swimming to shore,” Mark Freeley said.
