Seamus, an Australian shepherd, ran into a storm drain and began to float away in raging floodwaters. He was found about a mile away.
A one-year-old dog swept away in California floodwaters was rescued and returned to his owner thanks to firefighters – and technology.
His owners and firefighters began to search for him in the area. An employee at an RV facility stopped a fire crew, saying they heard a dog barking and then saw one floating down a channel. Firefighters found the tube – with Seamus inside, staring back at them among the dirt and litter. He was nearly a mile away from the storm drain he originally entered and"miraculously made it out of the fast-moving water," the fire department said.
Seamus' collar had both an Apple AirTag and an ID tag, which helped his rescuers and owners find each other.
