Next time maybe Jake will look the other way

A 12-year-old North Bend, Neb., child can thank his Labrador retriever for actually doing what his name suggests.

Jake, a 4-year-old Lab, jumped into the swollen Platt River Friday when Tony Bailey found himself in unusual currents.

Here is the story from KETV-7 in Omaha, Neb.

The child grabbed the dog's neck and the dog swam back to shore.

Then, according to the report, the mother insults the dog who saved her child's life.

"It's something that I wouldn't have expected him (Jake) to do — to have the brains to do, I guess," said Tony's mother, Diane.

Diane Bailey said Jake isn't usually the smartest dog.

Excuse me, Mrs. Bailey, who jumped into the water first?
