The Rock Saves Drowning Puppy!!!

Dwayne Johnson put his action-hero skills to good use as his alter ego The Rock Saves Drowning Puppy over Labor Day weekend.

Johnson. 43, revealed that he added two new additions to the family, but not all puppies can swim.

CelebNMusic247.com learned via The Rock’s Instagram feed that he had to rush and save his brand new French Bulldog puppies Hobbs (right) and Brutus (left), whom he affectionately now calls his “brick.”

Hobbs is the name of his character from the Fast & Furious Franchise.

Here is what happened:

Johnson let the puppies outside to “handle their business and potty like big boys” but when they both sprinted toward the deep end of the pool that is when The Rock has to jump in and rescue them.

Johnson wrote:

“Hobbs immediately starts doggy paddling while Brutus (like a brick) sink heads first to the bottom of the pool.”

“I take off into the full sprint, fully clothed, dive in the pool, swim to the bottom, rescue my brick, I mean Brutus, and bring him back to the edge of the pool.”

Johnson added that Brutus was a little delirious and threw up all the water he swallowed and looked him in the face “as if to say, ‘Thank God you didn’t have to give me mouth to mouth!’ and then ran off to play with his brother.”

Despite the potentially traumatizing incident, Johnson came up with three important lessons he learned that day.

A) Not all puppies have the instinct to doggie paddle.
B) Some puppies (like BRUTUS) will be so in shock by experiencing water they will sink extremely fast so react quick.
C) While spiriting to save your puppies life, before you dive in, try and throw your cel phone to safety. Don’t keep it in your pocket… like I did.

Anyways, Dwayne writes:

“Here’s a fun Labor Day weekend story… We just decided to add two new members to our Johnson family. Baby French Bulldogs. In my right hand is BRUTUS and in my left hand is HOBBS.

Bring them home and immediately take them outside so they can start learning how to “handle their business and potty like big boys”. I set them both down and they both take off in a full sprint and fall right into the deep end of our pool. HOBBS immediately starts doggy paddling while BRUTUS (like a brick) sink heads first to the bottom of the pool.

I take off into a full sprint, fully clothed, dive in the pool, swim to the bottom, rescue my brick, I mean BRUTUS and bring him back to the edge of the pool. He was a little delirious.. took a moment, threw up all the water he swallowed and looked up at me as if to say, “Thank God you didn’t have to give me mouth to mouth!” and then ran off to play with his brother.

A few lessons I’ve learned today.. A) Not all puppies have the instinct to doggie paddle. B) Some puppies (like BRUTUS) will be so in shock by experiencing water they will sink extremely fast so react quick. C) While spiriting to save your puppies life, before you dive in, try to throw your cel phone to safety. Don’t keep it in your pocket… like I did.”

He followed his story with the following hashtags:

Those puppies are adorable and Hobbs looks like The Rock – but seriously they will NEVER forget him saving them.

In their eyes, Dwayne aka daddy is their hero and we feel this photo is most appropriate:
