"What's that Monty? There's a man in the river - call an ambulance?" Forget Lassie, Monty the labradoodle is just as good. He saved his owner from a watery grave, despite being 77 in doggy years.
Owner Maurice Holder, 73, was out walking by the river in Cornwall when the ground shifted and he fell 40 feet. He came around to find Monty in the water with him. The pair struggled up the steep bank together then the dog dashed off, barking the old: " Follow me, I need help!" message we found so thrilling in the films. What a hero!
And what a one-off. Love our dog to bits, but he can barely get out of bed at 11 years old. Labradoodles are scatty, gallumping, big bags of nonsense that don't know where their own feet are. They eat everything, including plastic plates, and never run out of energy or good humour. Mr Holder says: " He's loyal and that's what matters." Spot on , well done that dog.
