Info from Licensor: "The video shows a dog trapped in fast-flowing river water after heavy rain. The animal struggled in the current and was unable to climb out on its own. An older man with a bare upper body carried a ladder into the river and placed it in the water, trying to guide the dog to climb up, but the frightened animal did not dare move onto the rungs. A man in a red shirt then stepped carefully down the ladder toward the dog, reached out, and lifted it into his arms. The footage shows the red-shirted man slowly returning along the ladder with the dog, leaving the river safely together. The two men are seen standing in the shallows with the rescued dog beside them."
