He’s regularly cast as the hero in movies.
But Dwayne Johnson has proved his heroism is more than just an act as the 43-year-old leaped to the rescue of his sinking puppy after it almost drowned in his swimming pool over the weekend.
In an Instagram post that was sure to have his admirers swooning, the actor recalled the dramatic moment his tiny canine plummeted to the bottom of the water, and his rapid action to save him.
Sharing a photo of his muscular torso peaking beneath his soaked-through white T-shirt, the former wrestler held his two new puppies in his pool with pride, and told his 26.2 million followers: ‘ 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.’
Recollecting on the moment he saw Brutus drowning, he enthused: ‘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.’
But the rescue wasn’t without its flaws as the action star then revealed that he had forgotten to remove his mobile phone from his pocket before diving in to the water.
‘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 and throw your cel phone to safety. Don’t keep it in your pocket… like I did.’
He then punctuated the indepth post with a series of comical hashtags, ‘[#BRUTUSLives #HOBBSCanSwim #MyCelPhonesDead #AndNoMouthToMouthNeeded #HappyLaborDay.’
Despite his tough guy exterior, the San Andreas actor has made no secret of his love of animals and frequents his Instagram account with adorable photos, one of which saw him befriend a random dog and another that saw him put on a attempt to cuddle up with two horses.
