Construction workers in La Paz, Bolivia came up with a clever solution to save a dog trapped in the middle of a raging river. It had been raining heavily and they noticed a little dog stuck on a rock with the river churning around him.

They wanted to save the dog and figured they would use the crane with a bucket attached. One of the men got hooked up and climbed into the bucket and the crane was navigated so that it was over the dog.
