00:00This husky actually wasn't thirsty at all, but it had claimed the only water source all to itself.
00:04The moment another dog came near, it would viciously chase them off.
00:07The other dogs were furious, but none of them dared to say a word.
00:10However, the new large dog was not afraid at all.
00:12It walked straight up to the ice in front of the husky and effortlessly broke open a hole
00:15in it.
00:16Hearing the commotion, all the other dogs came running, and Buck welcomed them too,
00:19generously sharing the water with everyone.
00:21But instead of reflecting on its own behavior after witnessing this,
00:24the husky only grew more aggressive.
00:25It figured that as long as it stayed out front and ran fast enough,
00:28its owners would keep favoring it forever.
00:30What it didn't realize was that a true leader is never defined by speed or dominance,
00:34but by winning everyone's trust and affection.
00:36One day, while the woman was scouting the path ahead,
00:38unexpectedly,the ice suddenly gave way.
00:40The next moment,she plunged into the bone-chilling lake water.
00:43Seeing this,the man rushed over immediately,
00:45but by then the woman had no strength left to keep herself afloat,
00:48and her body was slowly sinking toward the bottom of the lake.
00:50At this critical moment,Buck shot forward like lightning,
00:53Darting past the man and leaping into the water without a moment's hesitation.
00:56Buck carried his mistress on his back,and repeatedly rammed his body against the ice.
01:00Ultimately,he succeeded in bringing her safely ashore.
01:02But by this time,Buck was completely spent.
01:04Not only had it used up every last bit of strength,
01:07but the two owners were too caught up in their own relief and affection for each other to notice.
01:10Before long,Buck couldn't hold on any longer,and slipped beneath the dark water.
01:14When the man came back to his senses,he was devastated.
01:16He stood on the ice frantically calling out Buck's name.
01:18BUCK!BUCK!
01:21Following the sound,he quickly located the spot.
01:23He pulled out a knife,and began hacking away at the ice with all his strength.
01:27But the ice was too thick,and after just a few strikes,the blade snapped.
01:29He dropped to his knees in anguish,never imagining that this dog,
01:32one he'd always thought of as unremarkable,would end up giving its life to save his
01:35wife.
01:36Just then,someone beside him suddenly handed him a tool.
01:38He grabbed a stick,and immediately went back to chipping at the ice.
01:41But suddenly,he seemed to realize something,and he turned to look.
01:43It turned out that the one handing him the stick was none other than Buck,the very dog he had
01:47been thinking about.
01:48Seeing Buck and its owner so close and affectionate,the husky standing nearby was so furious,
01:52It's ears twisted sideways.Do you like this dog?
