Swansea Jack kept diving in when humans were drowning. πŸ•

Swansea Jack kept diving in when humans were drowning. πŸ• . . . From 1931 to 1937, the black retriever patrolled the River Tawe and Swansea docks in Wales. He repeatedly entered dangerous water and dragged struggling people toward shore; 29 rescues are credited to him. Jack received two bronze medals because saving one life apparently wasn't enough.
