On Monday afternoon, San Bernardino County Fire crews were dispatched to a call for a dog swept away in flooding waters.
Seamus ,a one-year-old Australian Shepard got away from his owner during a walk.
He found his way into an adjacent flood control basin and began floating away in fast moving waters.
Firefighters arrived and began trying to locate the dog.
While canvassing the area, ME231 was flagged down by an employee at an RV facility on East Redlands Blvd.
The employee had heard a dog barking in the nearby channel and witnessed the dog floating down the channel.
He said he followed Seamus and observed the dog had found a way out of the water into an access tube nearby.
Somehow Seamus had traveled nearly a mile from when he entered the storm drain and miraculously made it out of the fast moving water and was now stuck at the bottom of the tube.
Firefighters quickly made access to the dog and used a ladder to bring him up to safety.
An assessment of Sheamus showed that he was uninjured and in good spirits.
The crew checked Seamus' dog tag that had an address and phone number in nearby Loma Linda.
The crew took Seamus with them in the fire engine, drying and warming him up on the way to his house.
Upon arrival, firefighters reunited Seamus with his relieved owners.
Seamus was equipped with both Apple AirTag and a conventional ID Tag, which aided rescuers and owners in tracking the pup and reuniting them.
