John Dooner was on a pleasant stroll with his 18-month-old German pointer, Gertie, in Pembrokeshire, Wales, when an older male approached and begged for help in retrieving his wife's false limb, according to the Mirror Online.

The proud owner of Gertie took the matter into his own hands and threw a stone into the ocean for Gertie to fetch, in the hope of returning with the leg.

Thankfully, Gertie came to the rescue and saved the floating body part.
