Good job LA Rescue Team
If you get the Headline News channel, check it out as I''m sure they'll replay it many times today. They just showed a rescue of a poor dog (shepherd looking) trapped in an LA flood channel. Rushing water in the channnel, and very steep concrete walls on both sides as the dog tried in vain to scale the side. I'd just walked in the door and when I saw the situation the dog was in, I didn't think I could watch. But then the helicopter swooped in with a firefighter (?) dangling from the end of a rope. They lowered him down, air and water whipping wildly from the helicopter, scaring the dog. The pup tried to fight, but was so utterly exhausted that in less than a minute or so, the rescuer was able to get a grip (and maybe a sling?) on him and up the two went, into the air, rescuer clinging fearlessly to the dog. They moved over to a nearby bridge and let him down where several people rushed in to tend to him. Seems he's now on his way to the vets to get checked out. Evidently not a stray, just a very unlucky but now very relieved k9!!! His rescuers . . . heroes in my book!! Sue

That poor dog must have been absolutely terrified and just not in his right mind. Remember that dog that crunched Wendy's (H-man) hand when she rescued it beside a freeway? I believe he turned out to be a really nice dog.
