Since ancient times, dogs have been called man’s best friend. It’s hard to disagree with this statement. Yes, and probably no one will argue. They are not only our little brothers, but also brave rescuers. The hero of today’s column is a dog nicknamed Tang.Newfoundlands are perfectly oriented in the water. At one time they were called ship dogs. But now these dogs can rescue people on land. Tang, on the other hand, has rescued nearly 100 sailors. Without his help, they would probably have died.
He is a member of the Newfoundland breed. They differ from ordinary breeds by their almost waterproof fur and increased endurance. The puppies make excellent swimmers. They could bravely participate in the Olympics. They have no equal. At the sight of danger dogs grab a man and drag him to the ground with all their might. Despite all their natural power, such dogs never show aggression. It is not in their natureTang in 1919 saved 93 sailors who were caught in a storm off the coast of Nova Scotia.
Their ship wrecked. The sailors were on the verge of death. Pesel was not afraid of the storm. He bravely set about rescuing the men. People on land saw the sailors, but they did not know how to help them. They watched the heroism of the dog. Tang saved them…For this noble deed, he received a medal for bravery. Stories of his exploit are told from generation to generation. It is frightening to imagine what could have happened if Tang had not been there. The dog was bathed in attention. And it was well deserved. He made a good rescuer. Nothing is scary with a dog like that.
