Watch: Construction workers use digger to save dog from drowning

The construction workers quickly used the resources they had and worked together to save the dog. In the viral rescue video, a builder is seen sitting into the scoop of a digger and hovering over the gushing water. Soon he spots the dog coming through the water towards him. Thanks to his quick reflexes, the construction worker manages to get hold of the dog while maintaining his balance and pulls the dog to his lap. Both of them are then pulled to safety.

The undated video of his epic rescue act was posted online by the popular Twitter user Tansu YEĞEN (@TansuYegen) on Monday. It has gathered over 2.1 million views so far.

Bless this man! He could have been swept away too, but he selflessly rescued that dog despite it!

Is it weird that I think men who do things like this are REALLY attractive? lol

I respect your bravery, but “safety first.” He never secured himself with a harness, endangering his and the dog’s life.

What an amazing example of humanity here, putting oneself at extreme risk for another being.
