Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson might have played a bad guy in many movies, but he is a hero in real life after all. The westler-turned-actor saved the lives of two French Bulldog puppies which were about to drown in his swimming pool.

He posted a photo on Instagram on Monday, September 7, which captures himself holding the two puppies in his left and right hands. He shared the chronology of the tragedy through the caption of the photo.

It turned out that he just adopted the two puppies, Brutus and Hobbs. When he got home, he took the puppies outside so that they could "handle their business and potty like big boys." Unfortunately, the puppies became uncontrollable and suddenly fell into the swimming pool in Johnson's home. One of them automatically used its instinc to doggie paddle while another one just sank like a brick. Johnson quickly jumped into the swimming pool and saved the puppies without realizing that his cell phone was still in his pocket.

Here's a fun Labor Day weekend story... We just decided to add two new members to our Johnson family. Baby French Bulldogs. In my right hand is BRUTUS and in my left hand is HOBBS. Bring them home and immediately take them outside so they can start learning how to "handle their business and potty like big boys". I set them both down and they both take off in a full sprint and fall right into the deep end of our pool. HOBBS immediately starts doggy paddling while BRUTUS (like a brick) sink heads first to the bottom of the pool. I take off into a full sprint, fully clothed, dive in the pool, swim to the bottom, rescue my brick, I mean BRUTUS and bring him back to the edge of the pool. He was a little delirious.. took a moment, threw up all the water he swallowed and looked up at me as if to say, "Thank God you didn't have to give me mouth to mouth!" and then ran off to play with his brother. A few lessons I've learned today.. A) Not all puppies have the instinct to doggie paddle. B) Some puppies (like BRUTUS) will be so in shock by experiencing water they will sink extremely fast so react quick. C) While spiriting to save your puppies life, before you dive in, try and throw your cel phone to safety. Don't keep it in your pocket... like I did. #BRUTUSLives #HOBBSCanSwim #MyCelPhonesDead #AndNoMouthToMouthNeeded #HappyLaborDay

It seems like Johnson is a truly animal lover and rescuer as he didn't hesitate to jump in the pool and rescue his pets although it cost him a cell phone. He kept reminding any dog owner to take their cell phone out of their pocket first if one day they have to save a dog from drowning in a pool.

Ever since he uploaded the photo, hundreds of fans were impressed with his action. One fan even gave a suggestion to bring the puppies to a vet, "I would have them checked out by a vet just in case. You don't want them to get aspiration pneumonia. Better safe then sorry."
