As members of the SICS Italian School of Rescue Dogs, Igor and Luna have been trained to perform nautical rescues, along with several other canines.
The two good pups were there to help save the day when a 15-year-old found herself struggling amid a strong current at a beach in Cilento. She couldn’t make it back to shore on her own.
The lifeguard dogs leapt to action, accompanied by their human trainers.
SICS detailed the incident: “Luna, the young honey-colored Labrador, managed to reach her first. Together with her human teammate, they secured her [to the rescue buoy] and started the difficult return maneuver. Meanwhile, the second team also caught up with them. The girl was able to cling directly to the mighty Igor to finally be rescued.”
A beachgoer managed to capture footage of the rescue:

Just like other dogs who were trained like them, Igor and Luna made all the difference in a life-threatening situation.
SICS shared, “The Italian School of Rescue Dogs is the largest world organization dedicated to the training of nautical rescue dogs and their handlers. In 25 years of activity, the SICS Canine Units have saved the lives of hundreds of people, making the association esteemed and appreciated by all the bodies that deal with safety at sea.”
