Incredible footage shows a brave shepherd dog diving into a river to rescue a drowning lamb.

On May 28, in Harbin, Heilongjiang, a lamb accidentally fell into the river and was about to be washed away by the river.

The lamb had already floated to the middle of the big river, about 50 metres away from the shore, struggling desperately in the water, and its body began to sink.

But because the wind was strong and the current was fast, the lamb escaped from the shepherd dog several times, but the canine did not give up, supported the lamb on its back, and finally successfully brought the lamb to the shore.

According to Mr Huang, the filmer, it turned out that this shepherd dog also belonged to the owner of the sheep, and was usually responsible for helping the owner herd the sheep. The owner was also relieved to see the lamb narrowly escape death.

The rescued lamb weighed about 20 kilograms and was about the same size as a shepherd dog. At present, the lamb's life is not in danger, and the shepherd dog has recovered.

5月28号，黑龙江哈尔滨市，一只小羊不慎掉进了河中，眼看着就要被河水冲走，这时候一只牧羊犬跳进水中营救小羊。
当时小羊已经飘到大河中间，距离岸边大概有50米远，拼命在水中挣扎，身体也开始往下沉，牧羊犬奋不顾身游向了小羊，它不断用嘴轻咬住小羊的脖子往岸边游。但由于当时风力不小，水流又急，小羊几次脱离了牧羊犬，但牧羊犬并没有放弃，又奋力追上小羊，用背部托起小羊，终于成功将小羊营救到岸边。
据视频拍摄者黄先生介绍，原来这只牧羊犬也是羊主人的，平时就负责帮助主人放羊，见小羊死里逃生，主人也松了一口气。被救上岸的小羊体重在20斤左右，大小和牧羊犬差不多，目前小羊已没有生命危险，牧羊犬身体也已经恢复。
