It sometimes seems like every new animal rescue video tugs on our heartstrings more than the last, but our latest find has us melting for one surprising reason: The hero of the rescue mission isn't a shelter worker, or even a human at all.

When a gust of wind pushed a canoe into a river, two cute dogs found themselves trapped and cried out for help. Their barks and whimpers are enough to bring tears to your eyes.

Moments later, an unlikely hero arrived on the scene. Watch as this brave Labrador Retriever rushes over to the canoe to save his friends.

"Labs will retrieve anything, but what's amazing here is that one of the dogs in the canoe takes the rope and places it over the side and into the water for the Labrador to grab a hold of," explained Deborah Faddis in the video's caption.

OK, how did the one dog know to throw the rope and how did the other dog know to grab it and tow the canoe?

Don't know ... but I had a lab mix that I rapidly discovered would rescue any one in the water whether they needed rescuing or not.

Fortunately the first person she 'rescued' was a strong swimmer who loved dogs. My back lab mix swan out behind this person and pushed them into the whore. If you held onto her she would tow you into shore.

OK, Algie, you need to check your spelling. I think....
