Raden Soemawinata - everyday hero


In Melbourne a tiny Maltese-shitzu was blown off a pier into the ocean...

Ms Drummond watched helplessly as Bibi, who tried valiantly to dog-paddle back to Brighton Pier, was blown further into the surging water by winds of more than 100km/h.

Lucky for Bibi, Raden Soemawinata stripped down to shirt, jocks and socks dived in after the terrified dog. Mr Soemawinata, 20, was on the pier for a family ceremony to scatter his grandmother's ashes into the Melbourne bay.
