This South African Man Saved his Dog before returning for his wife

The question of who you would rescue first if your wife and mom are involved in an accident is a question that is always popping up in everyday discussions. Graham, a South African was recently faced with an almost similar circumstance – he had to make a decision between going for his dog or his wife – guess what? He decided to save his dog before coming back for his wife.

Graham and Sheryl Anley were on a three-month tour around the shores of South Africa when their yacht hit a reef and nearly capsized in treacherous waters near East London.

The couple ran aground off one of the country's most dangerous stretches of ocean along the Transkei coast on August 4.

They battled waves of up to seven metres and were eventually swept onto the reef.

But instead of taking his wife to safety first, the man reportedly grabbed the dog and swam with it ashore before turning around and going back to help his wife. Meanwhile, her safety line had snagged on the steering gear. So if the ship went down, she may have gone down with it.
