Christine Bright traded her life for her granddaughter’s, her family says.

The Indiana grandmother was at Arbuckle Acres Park in Brownsburg on Wednesday, Aug. 10, with her two granddaughters and their new puppy, Lilly, WTHR reports.

They were checking the park out as a possible venue for an upcoming birthday party, according to the outlet. At some point, Lilly fell into a creek at the park, and one of the girls jumped in the water to save their puppy, Bright’s daughter, Emilie Shea, wrote in a Facebook post.

But the girl began to struggle, unable to get out of the water on her own. Bright went in and saved her.
