Anyone else just see that amazing water rescue of a dog by the LAFD?

But it's also invaluable training for them. You can simulate an unwilling victim or a victim who is scared or doesn't understand but to actually have one to learn from is good experience. And they will get hours and hours of good press which will help them raise money if they decide to try to offset the cost.

Indeed. Hopefully he's ok...

and the dog doesn't have rabies.

I don't know. People will complain about this but with all of the trauma and bad news and frustration in the news lately, a feel good story is always welcome.

Excellent point.
