When a passerby noticed a dog, barely alive and barely visible above the surface of a river in Nottinghamshire, England, she made a snap decision to intervene by dragging her to safety. It was a decision that would ultimately save the dog’s life.
According to the Independent, the exhausted Belgian shepherd, named Bella, had a plastic bag containing a large, heavy rock tied to the leash around her neck. She had been weighed down and left in the water to drown.
