The men couldn’t believe their eyes; it was a dog . The poor animal was doing what he could to keep his head above the water , but it was clear that he was at the end of his strength and that it was necessary to rescue him without wasting time. They made several attempts, but these were unsuccessful. Eventually, the quadruped found itself very close to the oil rig and managed to grab onto it , reports Animal Channel .
