Tracking the dog by his barking the RV employee noticed that Seamus was floating in the river stuck into a tube. This was an access tube adjacent to the river and the dangerous floodwaters approximately a mile from the spot where he was swept away.
But thanks to Seamus’ Apple AirTag and conventional ID tag, firefighters were able to locate a sewer drain, opened it up, and said they saw a very tired — but thankful — dog staring directly back at them.
“Firefighters quickly made access to the dog, bringing him up the ladder to safety,” said San Bernardino Fire. “After assessing the dog, he seemed uninjured and in good spirits.”
Seamus was reunited with his owner.
Said San Bernardino Fire: “While we would have loved to make Seamus a fire station pup, glad we could reunite the dog back with his owners.”
“I was just blown away by that level of response from our emergency services and just really grateful that there are people that understand that dogs are family members,” Brill said after Seamus was rescued.
