NYPD Harbor Unit officers successfully rescued a struggling dog from the frigid East River waters on March 30. The dog, initially spotted by a concerned woman at South Street Seaport, was in distress but managed to be coaxed onto the rescue boat. Officers described the dog's relief upon being saved. After the dog became a viral sensation without an emergent owner, she is now undergoing the adoption process, with numerous potential adopters eager to provide a loving home.
It didn't fight us, it didn't act scared, it was basically just relieved, Police Officer Joseph Pascone said.
We went to where she pointed, and you could see a small, white object, Desalvo recalled.
The rescue itself became an internet sensation, with New Yorkers praising the officers online for making the save.
The furry little miracle dog was whisked out of the ruff waters just off the South Street Seaport on March 30.
