A quick-thinking Chicago policeman responded immediately when a dog fell into Lake Michigan on Tuesday morning and was unable to get back on land. He struggled to get out, but, luckily, an officer was nearby and fished the pup out of the water.
About 6:30 a.m., the dog fled a vehicle in the 600 block of North Lake Shore Drive and jumped into Lake Michigan, according to Chicago Police.
A news helicopter crew in Chicago captured video of an wonderful rescue early Tuesday morning.
Footage from a hovering TV helicopter shows the dog leaning over and lapping at the water, possibly in an effort to get a drink.
2 out of 3 ain't bad: Warriors top Cavs for another title
But in the meantime, I tip my cap to LeBron and the Cavaliers for being worthy champions and defending their crown until the end. That's a far cry from boasting All-Stars Klay Thompson and Draymond Green on the court alongside Curry and Durant.
Police didn't know the name of the dog. I heard the splash.
An officer responding to a nearby vehicle crash rushed over to help the dog.
After the rescue, another officer was able to get a leash on the dog. That's when Farris went into action, reaching down and heaving the flailing 50-pound dog out of the water.
The police department is now trying to locate the dogs owner. "As I witnessed this, I was just hoping that Farris wouldn't fall in", Guzman said.
