Mitch White and his friends were celebrating his bachelor party in a canoe when they ended up making an unexpected rescue after finding a Saint Bernard dog trapped up to his neck in the mud by a river in Minnesota.

The animal, named Ed, had been missing for more than a day and could barely move. The young men used their paddles as shovels to free him, while giving him water and food. The mud made the rescue difficult, so they had to call the authorities.

Ed returned home to his family, and the story moved people because it turned a trip among friends into a mission to save a life ❤️🩹.
