A child almost drowned swimming near a river mouth at Port Noarlunga in South Australia last week, but amazingly, he was pulled to safety by a dog in a life jacket not a moment too soon. The pooch is being hailed as a hero.

Jamie and Rob Osborn had brought their dog, Max, to the river along with a few friends. There, they spotted a young boy, about 11 years old, in the water in distress.
