Dwayne Johnson dives into pool to rescue puppies

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson had an action-packed Labor Day weekend as he heroically saved his two new puppies, Hobbs and Brutus from drowning.

Johnson shared his “fun Labor Day weekend story” on Instagram, posting a smiling picture of himself, fully soaked in the pool and with a French bulldog puppy in each hand.

According to Instagram, Johnson took action when, “Hobbs immediately starts doggy paddling while Brutus sinks head first to the bottom of the pool.”

“I take off into a full spring, fully clothed, dive in the pool, swim to the bottom, rescue my brick, I mean Brutus and bring him back to the edge of the pool,” wrote Johnson about his puppy rescue.

Johnson shared the lessons he learned from the heroic act, “A)Not all puppies have the instinct to doggie paddle. B) Some puppies (like BRUTUS) will be so in shock by experiencing water they will sink extremely fast so react quick. C)While springing to save your puppies life, before you dive in, try and throw your cell phone to safety. Don’t keep it in your pocket… like I did.”

As we previously reported . Johnson is set to star in the remake of Baywatch alongside Zac Efron.

Here's a fun Labor Day weekend story... We just decided to add two new members to our Johnson family. Baby French Bulldogs. In my right hand is BRUTUS and in my left hand is HOBBS. Bring them home and immediately take them outside so they can start learning how to "handle their business and potty like big boys". I set them both down and they both take off in a full sprint and fall right into the deep end of our pool. HOBBS immediately starts doggy paddling while BRUTUS (like a brick) sink heads first to the bottom of the pool. I take off into a full sprint, fully clothed, dive in the pool, swim to the bottom, rescue my brick, I mean BRUTUS and bring him back to the edge of the pool. He was a little delirious.. took a moment, threw up all the water he swallowed and looked up at me as if to say, "Thank God you didn't have to give me mouth to mouth!" and then ran off to play with his brother. A few lessons I've learned today.. A) Not all puppies have the instinct to doggie paddle. B) Some puppies (like BRUTUS) will be so in shock by experiencing water they will sink extremely fast so react quick. C) While spiriting to save your puppies life, before you dive in, try and throw your cel phone to safety. Don't keep it in your pocket... like I did. #BRUTUSLives #HOBBSCanSwim #MyCelPhonesDead #AndNoMouthToMouthNeeded #HappyLaborDay
