A Hero Dog

The story is that Max saved a man from drowning in freezing ice water where said man had fallen into the previously mentioned icy water (as it was winter) while working as a dog walker and trying to rescue some dogs who had broken through the winter ice. So Max got close to the man in the water and let the man grab his coat in order to help him get out of the freezing water. Max is a hero dog.
