A frightened dog that had spent a week evading rescue efforts was finally saved after a dramatic swim in San Francisco Bay. The Alameda Police Department recounted the chaotic week where community members and animal control officers tirelessly pursued the pup, only for her to escape at the last moment. On the rescue day, she unexpectedly swam into the bay, making it possible for the rescuers to capture her as she managed to find refuge on a rock wall. Her remarkable journey captivated the local community and highlighted the challenges in animal rescue efforts.
"For several days, ADP's Animal Control Officers, Friends of the Alameda Animal Shelter, and members of our community worked tirelessly to rescue this sweet pup."
"Every time someone so much as glanced at her, she bolted," said Emily Crum, the Alameda Animal Control Officer who finally caught her.
"For 20 agonizing minutes, we stood on the shore, watching her swim. The current was strong, and every second felt like an eternity."
"Miraculously, the dog found her way onto a rock wall, allowing rescuers to finally save her after her long ordeal."
