Tiny Dog Rescued From San Francisco Bay After Massive Air-and-Sea Search
First responders used a drone and rescue boat to locate the dog, which survived a seagull attack before being reunited with its family.
- First responders from the Menlo Park Fire Protection District and the East Palo Alto Police Department rescued a dog from the San Francisco Bay, coordinating a multi-agency operation to bring the animal to dry land.
- A 911 caller reported the dog swimming alone in the vast body of water after the animal "ran out into the water and just kept swimming," prompting the emergency response.
- Rescuers used binoculars and a drone to determine GPS coordinates for a boat to navigate the water, while the dog survived an "aerial assault by an organized gang of seagulls" before extraction.
- Upon returning to dry land, animal control took the dog into custody until the SPCA reunited it with its family, who had been searching since the Fourth.
- The East Palo Alto Police Department joked on social media that "the cat in the tree had the day off," describing the rescue as an event resembling an action movie.
