This Argentinian pooch became a hero when he latched on to a tree limb in his pal’s jaws — inadvertently saving his chum from a watery grave.

Video shows a black lab fetching a branch, and then slipping in the water and getting caught in a fast-moving current.

Still holding the stick, the black lab slips down a small incline, as the yellow lab strategizes how to snatch the stick.

The lighter-colored lab grabs the limb — pulling it, along with his friend, up a slippery rock.

Once the black dog is back on the rocks, the yellow lab wrests the branch free and runs off camera.

The short video, which was uploaded to YouTube last week, has already been viewed close to 30,000 times.
