Dustin Leming, an iron worker, dropped 14 feet into the Los Angeles River to rescue a dog trapped in the raging current during a rain storm.
LOS ANGELES, Calif. – A good Samaritan is recounting his attempt to rescue a stranger’s dog from a river in California.
When Leming saw the canine, he couldn’t help himself. He said he wanted to be a veterinarian so it was second nature to help an animal in need. When he finally got into the waist high water and got his arms around Scooby, the terrified German Shepherd sunk its teeth into his arms.He said it became too hard to hold on to the dog, and Scooby wiggled out of his arms and was eventually carried away by the current.It was fortunately not a lost cause, and Scooby survived. The dog floated down the river to a shallow spot where rescue crews eventually got him to safety.“Thank you so much for all the love out there and support,” she said.
