Jax the Black Labrador is a brave pup that used to live with Rick Sauer.
Jax was fascinated by adventure trips and used to accompany his owner on daring excursions in the outdoors.
During one such journey, the couple visited a lovely lakeside to appreciate the plentiful nature. But Rick became terrified when Jax abandoned him and jumped into the murky lake water out of nowhere!
Rick was worried that Jax would get into trouble because the untended lake was overgrown with weeds. He yelled at his dog, pleading with him to return to the safe dry land, but he refused and continued to travel forward in the center of lakes.
However, Rick spotted Jax putting something in his mouth. The dog eventually returned to the land with the items he had collected from the lake. Rick was taken aback when he found a newborn bird soaking in water carried by his dog.
The fledgling bird was just 10 days old and appeared to be learning how to fly. Unfortunately, the baby bird lost its balance and fell into the water. When Jax saw the bird struggling to remain afloat, he took the initiative to help the poor soul himself!
Dad realized his caring dog had just saved the life of a dying baby bird that had fallen in the middle of the lake while learning to fly.
Rick went in search of a young bird’s nest after saving the infant from drowning. He eventually discovered the bird’s nest and returned the terrified baby bird to his mother. Baby bird received a new life, and both mother and baby bird were relieved to see each other again.
Rick even returned to check on the baby bird after many weeks and was relieved to see him growing up peacefully with his siblings.
Jax is a great hero for keeping an eye out for this poor little birdie!
