A brave dog saved his friend by pulling him out of a rushing river. Or, he just really wanted to take the stick. Footage from Córdoba, Argentina shows a black lab eagerly chasing a stick tossed near violent water in the YouTube video published on January 17.
He leaps across a small current and onto slippery rock to claim his prize. A yellow lab trails behind and watches his friend beat him to the punch.
In a terrifying moment, the black dog slips from a rock and into the river. Even though he is splashed and pulled under the water, he does not let that stick budge from his grasp.
He gets pushed by the current through a small dip in the river when the heroic yellow dog grabs the stick clutched between the black dog's teeth.
The black lab with the stick rushes down the river towards the yellow pup who spots and opportunity to win a game of fetch.

The black dog abandons the stick and starts shaking off.
The yellow dog then walks out of the frame holding the stick, indicating victory.
