Watch Dog gets 'Ninja Turtles' inspired name after sewer rescue
In a case of life imitating art, a heroic dog that was rescued from a sewer in Easton, Pennsylvania, has been given a name inspired by the popular 'Ninja Turtles' franchise.
According to local reports, the dog was found stranded in a sewer by a passerby who immediately called for help. The fire department arrived on the scene and successfully rescued the pup, who was unharmed but clearly distressed.
In a heartwarming gesture, the rescuers decided to name the dog after one of the four heroic turtles from the popular children's cartoon and movie franchise. The dog was christened 'Leonardo', after the blue-masked leader of the ninja turtles.
While some may find the naming choice a bit silly, the rescuers insist that it's a fitting tribute to the dog's bravery and the heroic efforts of the firefighters who saved him.
In the world of Chuck Shepherd's "News of the Weird," this story is hardly out of place. After all, we've seen dogs named after everything from food items to famous politicians. And who could forget the classic tale of the dog named "Lucky" who survived a fall from a 13-story building?
But what's truly remarkable about this story is the selflessness and bravery displayed by the rescuers who risked their own safety to save an animal in need. In an age where so much of the news seems to be dominated by negativity and division, it's refreshing to hear a story about people coming together to help a helpless creature.
As for Leonardo the dog, he seems to be adjusting well to his new moniker. And who knows, perhaps he'll develop a love for pizza and martial arts, just like his namesake. But for now, he's content to bask in the love and attention of his new human companions, who are undoubtedly thrilled to have rescued such a brave and loyal pup.
