Rocky received Prize for his achievement.
Rocky has for decades been a fictional hero, but in Edmonton, Canada, Today there is a hero named Rocky who is definitely real; just eight years and four legs.
This Rocky, a cross between Labrador retriever and Husky, is hailed for pulling a nine-year-old girl out of a frozen river last Easter Sunday. Its owner, Adam Shaw, of 27 years, obtained a similar acclaim.
"If that man and the dog hadn't been there; I just try not to think about it.", said Miranda Wagner, the mother of Samara, nine-year-old, and her sister's 10 years, Krymzen, in an interview with CNN affiliate, CTV.
โI just wanted to give him a big hug and tell him that he is my hero.. If I hadn't been there I wouldn't have my girls.", said Wagner. "The doctors said two more minutes and Samara would be gone".
El heroรญsmo de Rocky y Shaw se desarrollรณ en el helado Rรญo Saskatchewan Norte en Edmonton la tarde del pasado domingo. Las niรฑas se deslizaban en trineo en un parque junto al rรญo cuando terminaron en el hielo que se extendรญa desde la orilla del rรญo, said his father Corey Sunshine, the affiliate of CNN, CBC.
โLo que me dijeron fue que, one of the sleds came from snow to ice mountain, intentaban regresar y el hielo se rompiรณโ, said.
Shaw dijo que caminaba en un puente sobre el rรญo cuando escuchรณ gritos. Cuando mirรณ abajo en el rรญo vio a una niรฑa en el agua helada y a su hermana que la intentaba sacar.
Para el momento en el que Rocky y รฉl corrieron hacia el rรญo, both girls were in the water.
It could get to the ice Krymzen, but the current leading to Samara, approximately 1.2 or 1.5 the shore of the ice, mientras su cabeza entraba y salรญa del agua, Shaw said at a press conference this Monday.
Preguntรณ a la niรฑa si podรญa nadar hacia รฉl.
โDijo que no podรญa mover sus brazos, que no podรญa mover sus piernasโ, said Shaw.
He tried to pull strap to her Rocky, but it was not reached. Then, while trying to approach, the ice gave way under him and his dog.
โLogrรณ poner sus patas delanteras en el hielo y empujรฉ su parte trasera para que estuviera en el hielo, luego utilicรฉ la correa y a รฉl para intentar levantarme en el hieloโ, said Shaw.
For this moment, Samara se habรญa desviado 50 or 60 yardas mรกs abajo en el rรญo, y aรบn flotaba dentro y fuera del agua helada. Shaw and Rocky ran towards her again, pero aรบn estaba fuera de su alcance.
โPuse la correa alrededor de Rocky y lo empujรฉ para que se metiera en el agua, le dije que si podรญa tomar su correa, podrรญamos regresarla al hieloโ, said Shaw.
โSaltรณ justo a su ladoโ, said, and the girl could put both hands on the belt of Rocky.
โLo llamรฉ de regreso y nadรณ hacia el hieloโ, said Shaw, While approaching enough so he could make the arm of the girl and her dog, para arrastrarlos lejos de la orilla del rรญo.
Fire Department rescue teams arrived shortly after and took to the sisters for treatment.
This Monday, they were at home with her grateful mother, and Shaw and Rocky were honored at the Firehouse; Shaw with a helmet firefighter and Rocky with a bone of giant leather taken from fire chief, Ken Block, until Block could take away the plastic wrap.
โEstas dos jovencitas son muy, muy afortunadas de que una familia asรญ haya pasado por allรญ y pudieran intervenirโ, said Block
Shaw argued not that.
โCreo que es una especie de milagro que todo saliera perfectamenteโ, told CTV.
