They receivedquite a surprise when they realised that it was in fact a dog wearing an orange life jacket, "with his little nose poking out of the water".It was as if the exhausted dog knew they could rescue them, as he frantically splashed his way to their boat.As he neared, they grabbed him out of the water and wrapped him up in a towel, as he was clearly very cold.Once back on dry land, his rescuers discovered that the pup had been reported missing three hours before...When reunited with Jaegermeister, his human couldn't hold back the tears. He said:
I had lost all hope! We had looked everywhere and found nothing. We thought it was too late. [...] He's my baby. I'm so happy!
