The Rock Rescued Two Puppies From Drowning Because Of Course He Did

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson knows how to get his name in the headlines, and what he did on Labor Day might’ve been the best way yet.

His two new puppies, Brutus and Hobbs, fell into the deep end of the pool and that’s when he took action. The Rock documented the whole incident in his Instagram photo’s caption.

Here's a fun Labor Day weekend story… We just decided to add two new members to our Johnson family. Baby French Bulldogs. In my right hand is BRUTUS and in my left hand is HOBBS. Bring them home and immediately take them outside so they can start learning how to "handle their business and potty like big boys". I set them both down and they both take off in a full sprint and fall right into the deep end of our pool. HOBBS immediately starts doggy paddling while BRUTUS (like a brick) sink heads first to the bottom of the pool. I take off into a full sprint, fully clothed, dive in the pool, swim to the bottom, rescue my brick, I mean BRUTUS and bring him back to the edge of the pool. He was a little delirious.. took a moment, threw up all the water he swallowed and looked up at me as if to say, "Thank God you didn't have to give me mouth to mouth!" and then ran off to play with his brother. A few lessons I've learned today.. A) Not all puppies have the instinct to doggie paddle. B) Some puppies (like BRUTUS) will be so in shock by experiencing water they will sink extremely fast so react quick. C) While spiriting to save your puppies life, before you dive in, try and throw your cel phone to safety. Don't keep it in your pocket… like I did. #BRUTUSLives #HOBBSCanSwim #MyCelPhonesDead #AndNoMouthToMouthNeeded #HappyLaborDay

If it were anyone else saving the puppies, the story probably would be much more exciting. But seeing that it was The Rock rescuing them is probably the least surprising story of all time.

Still, we’re so glad the pups are safe. JUST LOOK AT THEM!
