Seamus, a one year old Australian Shepard, was swept away in a storm drain
after running away from his owner on a walk. Before his dog mom could grab
him, he found his way into an adjacent flood control basin and began
floating away in fast moving waters. The owners began searching & crews were
dispatched to assist.
Firefighters arrived in the area, working to locate the dog in the storm
drain. While canvassing the area [the crew] was flagged down by an employee
at a RV facility on East Redlands Blvd. The employee had heard a dog barking
in the nearby channel & witnessed the dog floating down the channel.
He followed Seamus and observed the dog had found a way out of the water
into an access tube nearby. Firefighters were flagged down & found Seamus in
the tube staring back at them. He traveled nearly a mile from when he
entered the storm drain. He miraculously made it out of the fast moving
water & was stuck at the bottom of the tube.
The crew took Seamus with them in the fire engine, drying & warming him up
on the way to his house. Once arriving firefighters made contact with his
worried owners & reunited the family back together. Seamus was equipped with
both Apple AirTag & a conventional ID Tag which aided rescuers and owners in
tracking the pup and reuniting them.
Seamus was "uninjured and in good spirits" after being rescued. Apple, of
course, says you shouldn't rely on AirTags to help track your dog, but we're
glad to see that it helped Seamus anyway.
