Watch: Rafters Rescue Dog Stranded in Surging Ganga River in Rishikesh, Received Praise on Internet
Many a time we see helpless animals get trapped near water or in tunnel or in a closed place. Currently, a video is going viral on social media where a dog is seen trapped in the surging Ganga river in Rishikesh.
After an unexpected rise in water levels, the dog was stranded on a tiny rock in the middle of a 100 foot deep section of the river, close to the Lakshman Jhula neighborhood. From the shore, onlookers could see in horror as the creature was stranded by powerful currents and had no means of escaping. The helpless creature was fortunate to be noticed by a raft guide and his crew.
“This innocent soul got trapped in the Ganga as the water level suddenly rose, leaving him helpless and struggling to survive. In that terrifying moment, when hope seemed to fade, a kind-hearted raft operator stepped in and rescued him safely. Moments like these remind us that humanity still exists in its purest form. Amid so much indifference, one act of courage and compassion can save a life and restore faith in the goodness of people. Let’s be that reason for someone’s survival,” the user posted in the caption with the video.
The video has been shared by Instagram user @saveastray.noida and is getting viral on the internet and everybody is praising the video. The rescue footage shows the rafting crew maneuvering their inflatable boat through the river rapids in order to get to the dog.
To reassure the terrified animal by patting it, one rescuer cautiously got off the raft and onto a nearby rock. After that, he brought the raft closer by using ropes. The dog was brought back to dry ground unharmed after being lifted carefully into the raft.
