The Australian outback isn’t exactly forgiving, so when some bushwalkers came across a dog struggling in a rock pool in Queensland, they knew they had to act fast.

Reddit user Dangerm0use was walking through Mt. Glorious National Park with her husband and father when they found the exhausted dog. With no idea how long the dog had been in the water, where it came from, or whether or not it was even friendly, they got to work.

“Either way, we couldn’t leave it there in the freezing water. It was completely exhausted from its attempts to struggle out of the deep section it had fallen into, and there’s no way it would’ve survived the night,” the woman wrote.



Grabbing the biggest stick they could find, the hikers looped a rope around the dog’s head and shoulders and dragged her onto a rock embankment.
