UPS driver rescues dogs from drowning in a backyard pool

it was *** normal day for Colin Mitchell dropping off *** package at the home of Jeff and Rebecca mera as he was walking back to his truck despite it being hot outside. He felt it was strange to see two dogs swimming in *** pool without their owners being around. He then knocked on the door and realized they were unsupervised and their owners were not home, took *** step back and knocked *** little louder, rang the doorbell, nothing, and then I decided it was best to investigate slightly. As I approached the pool, I could see *** dog hanging on the side inside the pool and I could see *** dog swimming around on the solar cover, the water blanket, basically the gate to the pool is usually locked, but on that day the dog somehow jumped over the gate and then ran to the pool, removed his socks and shoes to try to save them. He worked to get groot the smaller dog out and Remington, who weighs £90 took *** little bit more effort I could get on my knees and just pull it out. He took *** little more leverage where I got my legs in the pool, I had to get *** good grip on him because the first time when I was on my knees, I couldn’t get them out. So, and then he swam back over to his corner and we tried again, I had to make sure I got him out the second time, I didn’t want him swimming back and forth *** whole bunch of times. Once both dogs were back in the yard, Colin, *** dog owner himself, gave *** sigh of relief and continued his route for the day. Next day, Colin stopped by to check on the dogs. The mayor is shocked and thankful work for him. We wouldn’t have dogs. That’s no question about it. I would say he’s *** hero.

Dogs and delivery workers don’t always have a great relationship. But an Iowa UPS driver is being credited with saving two of his customers’ dogs from drowning.

It was a normal day for Colin Mitchell, dropping off a package at the home of Jeff and Rebecca Marra.

As he was walking back to his truck, he felt it was strange to see two dogs swimming in a pool without their owners being around — despite it being hot outside.

“Can your dogs swim?” Mitchell yelled into the house, which was captured on a Ring camera.

He then knocked on the door and realized they were unsupervised and their owners were not home.

“I took a step back and knocked a little louder, rang the doorbell… nothing… and then I decided it was best to investigate slightly,” Mitchell said. “As I approached the pool, I could see a dog hanging on the side, inside the pool and I could see a dog swimming around on the solar cover… the water blanket, basically.”

The gate to the pool is usually locked, but on that day, the dogs somehow jumped over the gate.

Mitchell then ran to the pool, removed his socks and shoes and attempted to get the dogs out.
