Pinellas County, FL - Body camera video shows a Pinellas County deputy rescuing two dogs, who were found stuck at the bottom of a seawall.
The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office said a woman was out on a walk with her two dogs, Zoey and Monkey, when she fell, and the leash slipped out of her hand.
The dogs took off, and the sheriff’s office was contacted for assistance.
PCSO said the dogs ended up behind a gated business near Joe’s Creek, where they could not make it over a seawall.
Video shows a deputy calling the dogs’ names, when he heard the barks from the bottom of the ditch. The deputy struggled to find his way to the other side of the water, where the dogs were spotted.
“After nearly an hour of searching for access to the other side and traversing thick brush, he located them and pulled them up from the seawall,” PCSO said.
The deputy brought the happy pair back to their relieved owner, according to the sheriff’s office.
“No injuries, just two dogs who learned that unsupervised adventures aren’t all they’re cracked up to be,” PCSO said.
