A LASSIE-STYLE RESCUE

SWANSEA, England -- A dog made a Lassie-style rescue after an 8-year-old boy fell 30 feet from a rope swing into a river, breaking both arms.

Nye Thomas wrapped Bud's leash around himself and the collie-labrador mix dragged him out of the water and up the river bank in Swansea, England.

Bud then ran back to the nearby family home where his barks alerted Nye's parents.

"You hear about dogs helping people but until it happens to you, you don't realize how grateful you are to have good pets," Nye's father told the BBC.
