While you were enjoying your barbecue this Labor Day weekend, The Rock was out saving lives.

The actor, Internet superstar and professional Baller posted a photo of himself to Instagram holding his two new French bulldog puppies, Brutus and Hobbs. Classic puppy photo, right?

Except for one thing. The Rock is soaking wet and fully clothed inside a pool -- because, in true The Rock fashion, he just completed a heroic puppy rescue.

"I set them both down and they both take off in a full sprint and fall right into the deep end of the pool," wrote Johnson of his new pups. "Hobbs immediately starts doggy paddling while Brutus (like a brick) sinks heads first to the bottom of the pool."

Luckily, The Rock was there to save the day. "I take off into a full sprint, fully clothed, drive in the pool, swim the bottom, rescue my brick, I mean Brutus, and bring him back to the edge of the pool," he added.
