Will Smith saved a drowning puppy while out jogging in California, according to reports.

The actor came to the rescue when he heard three young boys screaming for help during his run.

When they explained that their cocker spaniel was trapped in weeds after jumping in a canal to fetch a stick, the actor waded into the water and pulled the dog free.

As the boys hugged him, he reportedly told them: "Next time you play fetch, play it on the grass."
