"The search lasted more than an hour, said Garrett Smerdon and Jack Alldredge, San Diego Fire Deparment lifeguards credited with the rescue. They felt that given black labs' ability to swim and Sadie's age - 5 years old - she was likely still alive and swimming, or paddling. "After an extensive search with no sightings, lifeguards began making their way back in-until a miracle happened," the fire department wrote. A rescue Jet Ski had spotted Sadie a half mile offshore near South Mission Beach."
"The couple were in town watching football when they realized their black labrador mix, Sadie, was missing, the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department wrote in a statement. Using an AirTag on the dog's collar, the couple tracked Sadie's location and began walking down the beach. Two miles away in Ocean Beach, a surfer alerted the lifeguard tower that a dog had been swept into a rip current and was drifting out to sea."
