Man rescues stranded puppy from fast-flowing river in Longnan, China

On October 18, 2026, in Longnan, Gansu, China, @superheroes shared a video of a man rescuing a puppy stranded on an isolated gravel patch in a fast-flowing river. In the video, the man, dressed in dark clothing, carefully wades through the muddy brown water toward the small, dark-colored puppy, which is surrounded by rushing rapids and cut off from the riverbank. After reaching the animal, he secures it in his bag and carefully makes his way back through the water, successfully bringing the puppy to safety. According to reports, the puppy had become trapped in a low-lying depression on a gravel bar after being cut off by the strong current. Unable to escape on its own, the animal remained stranded until the man noticed it and stepped into the river to help. His family watched from the riverbank as he carried out the rescue.
