David Fisher of Westfield, Indiana, and son Felix rescued man who had fallen in after trying to rescue dog
In an extreme instance of life imitating art, an author of children’s books about a rope-wielding hero reportedly used his jump ropes to save both a dog and a young man from drowning after they fell into an ice pond in Indiana.
Those exploits in December by David Fisher – who also jumps rope professionally – recently earned him recognition as a hero from the municipal government of Westfield, as the Indiana television news station WRTV told it.
