In the clip, Petey was hanging out by a small kiddie pool when he noticed there was an insect trapped in the water. Immediately, the pooch jumped into action. He started circling the pool, searching for the best angle to reach the poor bug. Then, the dog leaned forward and gingerly used his teeth to rescue the drowning dragonfly!
As soon as Petey had the insect in his mouth, he laid them down softly on dry land. He was trying so hard not to hurt his new friend! Once the dog had rescued the dragonfly from the water, he started sniffing the bug to make sure they were ok. What a kind pup!
“Petey is so gentle and caring,” wrote Paws Place Dog Rescue in their caption. “He spent his play time trying to save a dragonfly from the pool. Maybe we should add ‘insect friendly’ to his kennel description??”
Everyone is falling in love with this sweet pup.
Commenters were blown away by the footage of this adorable shelter dog working so hard to rescue a dragonfly!
“I fully think he was prepared to give CPR,” joked one user.
Another added, “He has 3 legs and helped a drowning bug! That’s one special pup!!!”
In their post, the shelter announced that Petey is up for adoption. We hope this viral video helps him find a new home soon!
