Truth Behind Photo of Horse Apparently Coming to the Rescue of Drowning Blind Dog

 

When a horse by the name of "Agripin" happened to be swimming in the Danube River, he saved a dog that was in danger of drowning. After tumbling from a nearby pier, the little blind dog named Abby had traveled far from the river's edge. She was unable to navigate back to land. Agripin came up to the little dog and offered to take her back to the property.

In the shallow water, Agripin could stand upright. Abby hopped up on Agripin's back and rode back to shore when she saw that aid had arrived.

Agripin attempted to save the tiny dog by swimming, shocking the dog's owner who was on the shore and had been watching.

The rescue story that comes next is fantastic, but it's totally false!

This image and the accompanying story gained a lot of social media traction a few years ago.

A dog lover wants the world to know that the dog is not blind and that the horse did not save it on DogHeirs.com. The horse's name is Brenda Lee, and the dog's name is Lucy; both animals are personal friends of the horses' father, Brian Sean Reid of Horses Know the Way Home. Jodie Sinclair, an equine photographer, captured the magnificent image. The animals are widespread across the nation.

Sinclair did a great job of capturing the adorable couple swimming near the coast in his photographs.

Here is Einstein's upload. In a Facebook post, she called Lucy "the most independent, courageous, and tireless tiny person I have ever encountered."

The Facebook page Horses Know the Way Home, which is thrilled at all the unfounded allegations, has also noted the popularity of the image. They sarcastically question, "How many lives would Brenda Lee and Lucy be able to save this summer."

The winter coat on Little Lucy is very lovely.

having fun with their father.

They plan to see their buddies as well.

Are you planning to attend the duo's performance? Reid gave me a video of Brenda Lee riding Lucy around a fence at Tufts University.
