‘No one came to his rescue… No One.. But..’
Four-year-old Andrei Pavlov loved feeding ducks in the lake near his house in Russia. He suddenly slipped and fell through the thick ice beneath his feet into the deadly freezing water.
A stray dog called ‘Naida’ began barking frantically almost immediately to alert the bystanders of the incident.
A woman who often feeds the strays of the cold city responded to Naida’s barks and followed it back to the lake.
Nearby workers helped the woman pull Andrei out of the freezing water, and he spent a few days in the hospital recovering with no significant injuries.
When this news reached the ears of the little boy’s mother, she knew that the dog Naida was following them around the day and that it sensed a premonition of trouble.
As a rescue hero, a canine adoption was arranged near the incident site, and Naida’s new owners are proud of her.
