Not all heroes wear capes… that’s for sure! Some wear nothing but a smile, like Harley!
This hero Goldendoodle from Virginia made headlines all over the world, jumping into action when his help was needed the most!
This six-year-old canine was spotted by his owner, Ralph Dorn, about 200 feet from shore, paddling with an unknown animal for the most selfless reason ever.
When he came a little closer, Ralph realized that Harley wasn’t just casually swimming – he was in the middle of a rescue mission!
Harley Immediately Rushed Into Action
Ralph Dorn, a man from Virginia, knew that his Goldendoodle, Harley, wasn’t an ordinary dog. He has always been a good boi, very intuitive and stunningly intelligent.
Still, Harley managed to surprise his hooman one more time when he rushed into action to help a baby fawn from drowning.
“Harley must’ve seen the fawn out in the water and just jumped into action,” says Ralph.
As soon as he spotted the baby fawn helplessly trying to get out of the water – he jumped into action! He didn’t think twice nor did he ask why – he just started swimming towards the baby who was, at the time, around 200 feet away from the shore.
Paddling With His Friend Until They Were Safe
Helping the fawn that was only a few days old was no picnic! Harley had to guide her all the way to the shore, as the baby was lacking coordination and it didn’t know how to get there. But, there was Harley – swimming like a pro and herding his newest friend to the shoreline!
“Every time the fawn tried to turn away, Harley would herd it back towards the shoreline and they kept getting closer and closer,” Ralph says.
One thing is for sure – if it wasn’t for Harley, the baby would definitely not have survived! Luckily, this Golden boi successfully got the fawn to the shore, and once they got out of the water, he started licking its body and caring for it.
He just wanted to make sure that the baby was safe, and he definitely didn’t want to leave it!
However, the fawn’s mom showed up on the lawn just a few moments after the rescue. As soon as Ralph spotted her, he and Harley went inside their house and made sure the baby and the mom reunited in peace.
A Beautiful Friendship Was Made
Ralph thought that was about it, but the next morning, Harley surprised him even more! He was drinking coffee with his wife, Patricia, when this Golden boi approached them and started running from one window to another.
He clearly wanted to go out, but Ralph didn’t know why. He opened the front door and let Harley out, only to witness the most adorable thing ever!
Harley actually heard the little fawn bleating nearby – the exact same fawn he saved from the lake the day before! He ran energetically towards this baby, and as soon as they got together, the fawn stopped bleating.
The two shared a few pawdorable moments together, sniffing each other and wagging their tails together – and that was about it! After their brief meeting, Harley got back in the house, all happy to have seen his little friend!
Harley’s intuition and his extraordinary ability to help others isn’t a surprise! Before his heroic rescue, he worked as a certified therapy dog, helping the elderly and children in his local community!
He has always been an impeccable boi, ready to jump into action and help others whenever needed. That’s just who he is – the pawfect Goldendoodle!
