"Ventura County Fire Department (VCFD) and Oxnard Fire Department were called to the scene to assist Ventura County Animal Services after the three-year-old dog found itself stranded on a small collection of reeds and debris, "surrounded by rising, fast-moving water and steep channel walls." The dog, believed to be a female pug or French bulldog mix, was freed after firefighters extended a 35-foot ground ladder which allowed a member of VCFD's Swift Water Rescue Team to climb down and bring the sodden animal to safety."
"OXNARD, Calif. -- Heartwarming footage captured the moment a downcast dog was rescued from a flood channel in Ventura County, California, on Tuesday, October 14. Ventura County Animal Services said the unharmed dog was transported to the Camarillo Shelter "where she received a vet exam and a warm kennel." A search for the dog's owner was launched as she was not wearing an ID tag and had not been microchipped."
