In Russia a man named Ivan smashed his way through icy water to save a stray dog from drowning, he adopted the dog afterwards and named him Rex.

Hero

God, look at him go. Even money this man was part of some Soviet super soldier program back in the day.

Ivan is only 21 years old here’s photos of them afterwards

Ivan, to the ice keeping him from saving a good boy: I must break you

Ivan is a good man.

my fave bit of black dog folklore is that in some folklore there is a belief that the first person buried in a cemetery stays there and doesn’t cross over and helps other spirits move on and protects them from evil spirits, now naturally people want to avoid this fate for their loved ones and themselves so they would sometimes bury a dog first and it would return in the shape of a big black dog and protect the newly dead from evil spirits and occasionally the living as well

this kind of spirit is called a church grim

You mean it’s called a good doggie.
