At left, Darby Voeks, 26, was about to jump off the pier at Park Point in Duluth, Minnesota, on March 24, 2021, to catch one last wave. That's when a woman in a wheelchair rolled up and said she needed help because her 29-year-old aide had gone into the water to rescue her dog. Voeks, who was in a wetsuit, dropped his surfboard and jumped in. Voeks rescued both the man and the dog. (Duluth Police Department)
