A video has emerged from the US of two dogs panicking when their owner falls into a lake.

The footage, captured in Randolph County, NC, shows the animals barking loudly before jumping into the lake as if they are trying to save their owner.

''I decided to try the rope swing to swing out into the lake. This seemed to almost scare my dogs to death, especially poor Buster,'' the filmer later wrote online.

''They both swam out to rescue me and Buster cried the whole time,'' he added.
