Most pet owners do anything for their pets. They see them as a family and treat them like their own children. When an animal gets sick, they take it to the vet. When a pet is sad, it shows love and care. And when the animal is in trouble, the owner does not hesitate to help him.
A man recently jumped off a bridge in Alabama to save his dog.
While some see him as a hero, he insists he did what he had to do to save his best friend. He has no doubt that if the tables were turned, his dog would do the same for him.
It all started when Al Trovigner and his family were in constant traffic on the Bayway. Her dog, River, got impatient and finally jumped off a nearby bridge. Trovigner didn’t believe her at first. Explains the situation:
“We were in Bayway for 30 minutes and decided to go out and let the dog out for a walk. Once we did that, we put her on a chain, she jumped over her.

As soon as I jumped, the leash broke and the river fell into the water below.
She started swimming, but it was clear that she needed help. She was scared and barely kept her head above the water. Trovigner explained:
We kept looking at her, and we could tell she was feeling a little desperate, and finally we couldn’t do anything else; either she was about to drown or someone was going to jump up and look for her, so I jumped.
