In his adventures, there are very few things that Tom Hudson hasn’t experienced. This famous sailboat captain and travel addict dedicated his life to exploring continents and crossing oceans in every possible way.

However, when he decided to take a canoe trip down a river one day, he never imagined it would be a unique experience.

Hudson paddled along the river, enjoying all the beauty around him, when he heard faint cries coming from the shore.

When he looked closer, he was in shock!

A Truly Striking Sight

At first, Hudson couldn’t determine what was causing the cries. He paddled a little closer to the shore to get a better look when something caught his attention.

Suddenly, he felt overwhelmed by surprise.

There it was: a white, furry creature, deeply stuck in the mud right next to a large log.

Hudson didn’t think twice. He immediately approached the animal and realized it was a huge Great Pyrenees. The dog was trapped in the mud and couldn’t move at all.

“He doesn’t seem to be doing well. I don’t see anyone around. No footprints. He’s covered in mud… it looks like he’s crying,” Hudson says in his YouTube video.
