As firefighters across Southern California rescued people from precarious situations during Tuesday’s storm, Ventura County crews saved a small dog that was trapped in a flood channel.
Firefighters from the Ventura County Fire Department were sent to the Revolon Slough in the Oxnard Plains at around 9:30 a.m. and found the small dog finding refuge on top of the collection of reeds and debris in the middle of the swelling river.
Crews extended a 35-foot ground ladder toward the dog as a member of the swift water rescue team got into the water to pull the pup into safety, the fire department said.
It’s not clear how the 3-year-old female pup ended up in the river. Experts from the Ventura County Animal Services believe that the dog is a Pug or French Bulldog mix.
The dog was unharmed, but county officials tried to track down her owner as the pup did not have a tag on its collar and was not microchipped.
More information about the dog is available here under animal ID A872963.
