David Phung is a HERO

Just saw this young man pull a woman from a submerged car in Louisiana, she came up and her only words were "get my dog!" The dog was in the car with her, he told her "I can't get the dog".

Just as I started to sob...

The dog popped up, safe and sound.

And I'm still crying.

Just saw this on CNN FYI.

put her into a life jacket before going after the dog, and the Twitterverse really let him have it, lol. Dogs rule! I'll bet that if Mr. Phung is single, he will have no trouble getting a date--ever--because there's nothing more attractive to us women than a guy that saves animals.
