A pair of students have got top marks after helping to rescue a dog who had fallen into a canal.
Jack Spencer Furmston and Ben Camphor, both 20, were walking home from a coffee shop in Manchester when they spotted a pet owner in need of help.
Batu Akyol was grasping the lead belonging to his dog that had unfortunately just fallen into the Ancoats Canal.
A ‘crowd had begun to build’ and Ben decided to ‘spring into action’ as the tallest one among them.
Everyone was panicking. I couldn’t let that dog down and not help,’ Ben told MailOnline.
Jack and five others held on tight to Ben’s legs while he dangled head-first over the wall bordering the canal.
Dabhidh MchicEamailinn, who was walking on the other side of the water, spotted what was happening, filmed it and posted it on Tuesday.
