A dog was swept away when going for a swim in the Merrimack River Friday.

While at Arms Park in Manchester, the golden retreiver Sam, jumped in while his owner called the fire department. Onlookers shouted to Sam as he struggled to tread water. One firefighter got to the wall surrounding the park and jumped into save Sam. The rescue boat then drove him to shore where he was reunited with his owner.

Saddest! Dogs are so cute! I get all upset when bad things happen to them. Therefore, to cheer everyone up, here are some cute pictures of puppies in water.

Woof!
