Fire departments from three local areas also assisted in the rescue.
“It looks like there is a little bit more beach where [the dog] is,” a rescuer said.
“This your first dog rescue, Jason?” the pilot asked.
“First dog rescue,” the swimmer said.
“Hugs. Hugs all around,” a USCG aircrew member said.
“I love it,” another added.
“Leo stayed overnight at an emergency vet,” the owners noted.
“He has a few cuts and bruises. All things considered, he is doing good. We are so thankful he is alive and expected to recover.”
