Heartbreaking moments man at pier to scatter his grandmother’s ashes in the bay wound up saving a drоwning dog’s life

A 20-year-old man named Raden Soemawinata was on Brighton pier to scatter his grandmother’s ashes into the bay in Melbourne, Australia. But when he was saying goodbye to one life, he had no idea he’d wind up saving another.

It was at the time when he was still at the pier that a tiny Maltese-shih tzu ended up in the water. His name is Bibi and he was so tiny that the strong winds coming across the bay pushed him off of the pier and right into the water. Bibi’s fur mom, Sue Drummond, was in an absolute panic from the moment Bibi was pulled from the pier. Unsure if she could make the complicated rescue on her own, she turned to the bystanders around her in search of help. Thankfully for Bibi, Raden was willing to take the plunge.

Without hesitation, Soemawinata quickly stripped down to his shirt and underwear and jumped into the water to save the scared pup, while a nervous Drummond and other passersby watched.

Begin, he spent a few moments hugging the rails before making the steep jump, likely experiencing a bit of fear in the moments leading up to the impressive rescue. By the time Raden hit the water, Bibi was already struggling to stay above the surface. The Maltese mix was seen padding with all his might, struggling to conquer the waves that were throwing him around the bay. It took a few moments for Raden to reach the desperate pup, but Bibi was soon within reach. Raden quickly scooped up the terrified pup and held him above the waves.

Raden quickly determined that he could not make it to the shore with the pup in hand, so he swam back to the pier from which they both entered the water. Raden hoisted Bibi up as high as he could, relying on Susan to lean over the rails and pull her dog to safety.

Thankfully Soemawinata, who has been hailed a hero, was at the right place at the right time to save Bibi. It was definitely fate, and both Bibi and Drummond are beyond thankful for his quick thinking.
