Not all superheroes wear capes; some of them wear dog collars.
Cooper the Dog, is being hailed a hero after rescuing a young man who was stranded during the historic flood in Humphreys County, Tennessee, on Saturday.
As 17 inches of heavy rainfall flooded Humphreys County and the rising water began to take over the city of Waverly, a dog intuitively reacted and saved a man’s life.
According to news agencies, the rescued man said Cooper saw him desperately clinging to a pole and swam through floodwaters to his side.
Good boy alert!
