Dog rescue underway

United States
January 22, 2010 2:01pm CST
Anyone heard about the stranded dog in L.A. that's, I believe, in a river? He's walking along some narrow pathway along a river or fast-flowing water in Los Angeles. I hope the dog is okay! They are trying to resuce him. I wish the best. Wonder how he wandered there? Does anyone know more informatino? I am half-watching it on Fox News at work, and the TV is far away so it's hard for me to hear and see it.

I just read on my homepage that a rescued dog bit the fireman that saved him. Is that the story you're talking about? That's all I saw when I got online, just that headline.

Poor dog! Maybe if no one claims him, the firefighter will want him. They've already been through a lot together!

Here is the full story, yes it's the same one you're talking about. I didn't know one of the rescuers had gotten bitten, but he said he's not holding it against the dog. The dog was scared and cold and didn't know... http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,583728,00.html The dog's owners have 10 days to claim him, named Vernon for now, until they put him up for adoption. He was well-maintained but had no name tag or chip.

aw what a poor baby dog! (all cute animals are babies to me) he must have been curious about something and wandered to the wrong place. I hope they're hurrying! all the rescuers probably want to save him soo much, just as much as if he were human.

UPDATE The dog has been rescued. I am unsure of his condition, but he's no longer at risk of drowning. You can see more at Fox News.
