Baton Rouge, Louisiana has been in a state of emergency since fast-moving floods started claiming the streets – rescue workers have already saved more than 20,000 stranded residents and pets, but one particular gesture was caught on video for the internet to see.

Just as she caught her breath, she pleaded the man to rescue her dog, which he did in one swift dive.
