Royal Malaysian Navy officers saves a puppy
The Royal Navy in Malaysia may be a highly regarded crew that’s mostly responsible for major national duties, such as surveilling the country’s maritime and managing defense operations. But a recent heartwarming incident shows us that the Navy officers take their duties of saving lives very seriously too – big or small, human or animal.
A TikTok video has been circulating online, showing several Royal Malaysian Navy officers jumping into the sea to save a puppy from drowning.

An officer was caught on camera jumping into the sea with an inflatable swim ring, and swimming toward the puppy that seemed to be paddling about aggressively, trying to stay afloat. At the same time, the rest of the officers harnessed a bucket with a rope so that they would be able to pull the puppy up to safety easily.

The puppy did not seem to be aware of the good intentions of the officer, however, and kept trying to swim away from his grasp. But the officer persisted in his efforts to get the puppy out of the water – as it would be dangerous if the puppy starts to tire out against the currents, which might eventually cause it to drown.

Another officer was then seen plunging into the water to help his peer out. With teamwork and relentless effort, they finally managed to take hold of the grappling puppy and swim it back to safety.
