Although they are called “mortal enemies”, dogs and cats are actually not as big rivals as you might think.

Increasingly, they live together under the same roof and, according to Menchetti et al.1, more than 60% of family dogs and their feline companions accidentally sleep next to each other and play together. One such adorable bond was captured in a video showing a dog’s heartwarming reaction when his friend fell into the water. When this dog found a cat in trouble, it did the most amazing thing!

In the video, the half-submerged cat can be seen fighting for life, clinging to the objects it was holding at the time. He was very scared and shocked and wanted to know how to get out.

But then a dog appears on the wall of the pond, offers to help and tries to save his friend!

At first they try to pull it out with their jaws, but when they realize it’s impossible, they ignore the potential danger and jump into the water!

Before you know it, he’ll be looking for a way to escape into the water with his feline friend on his back. He risked his life to save a friend in need, dispelling the myth that cats and dogs are enemies.

After some time he successfully reached the shore and he and the cat successfully escaped. For a moment you can see the cat still in shock and trying to figure out what happened. But the next moment he was fine and jumping over the wall of the fish pond as if nothing had happened!

This incredible rescue was recorded and quickly went viral on social media, melting the hearts of millions of people around the world!

While people were happy to see a selfless dog go out of his way to help a feline friend in need, some wondered why the person who captured it all didn’t step in to save one of the animals. However, thanks to the dog’s beautiful and affectionate behavior of instinctively rushing towards him, this cat was in a safe place! It doesn’t matter if he is a highly educated child with high social skills or just simple instincts!

The most important thing is that dogs and cats are not at risk. I’m sure they will become friends too!
