A dramatic rescue came to an end after LAFD firefighters were able to rope in a dog that was stuck in a swollen Los Angeles River. The dog’s owner had been rescued, along with a bystander who jumped in the swift water to try and get the dog. After floating in the water, and sometimes walking along an embankment as people watched along the river, the dog was pulled to safety in the Studio City area. https://ktla.com/news/local-news/crews-work-to-rescue-dog-from-l-a-river-after-saving-woman/ | KTL
