A Long Beach lifeguard rescued a small white dog that was swimming out to sea on Sunday.
The dog apparently ran from a parking lot to the ocean and kept swimming until it reached the swim line.
Lifeguard 7 quickly put on his wetsuit and grabbed his rescue board, and along with a rescue boat, they were able to retrieve the dog and bring it to safety.
The dog’s owner was later located.
This unusual rescue operation shows that lifeguards are always ready to respond to any kind of emergency, even those involving our furry friends.
