This is why they're man's best friend - WATCH Labrador performing a heroic rescue act

London: As a gust of wind blew a canoe away from the gravel bar and into the river, two dogs ran and jumped inside it. 

The Labradors are known world over for their herocis, but what's amazing here is that one of the dogs in the canoe takes the rope and places it over the side and into the water for the Labrador to grab a hold of.
