An American man being rescued from a shark attack by his dog.
He was fishing on Bodega Bay, California when he was threatened. James White, an American living in Sonoma County, told NBC Bay Area that a shark attacked him in broad daylight on July 21st. He felt for a long time, a massive animal struggling at the end of his fishing rod. When he finally managed to get him out of the water to remove the hook that was hooked to his mouth, James White slipped to the ground. This is where the shark grabbed his leg and started to bite him. "He immediately had blood everywhere; the first bite punctured an artery. The pressure was intense, "he told NBC.
Unable to get rid of the shark, the man called for help from other fishers several meters away. By the time they arrive, Darby, James's dog, was already on the scene. The pit bull who was in his master's car managed to get out and ran to him. He began to attack the shark at his mouth, causing an even deeper bite in James White's leg. Darby then repositioned himself at the tail of the shark, pulling with all his powers to move away from his master. With success. The shark finally left to swim.
For James White, there is no doubt that his dog saved his leg, avoiding even more significant damage: "The first time I told this story, I was told:" you lost your head, it is impossible that it happened. And then I showed pictures saying: "No, that's absolutely what happened." And James concludes, "He's been part of the family since the first day. Now maybe a little more. If he had not been there, it could have been a lot worse. "
