Man Jumps Into NYC River To Save Drowning Dog

A marine unit with the Fire Department of New York responded to a report that someone had thrown a dog off a bridge into the Harlem River. When they arrived, they saw a person clinging to the dog from the shore, trying to keep it above the water.

Members of the marine crew were able to pull the pup on board their boat and delivered it to shore so it could get proper care. The FDNY later posted on social media praising the first responders and the good Samaritan saying, without them “the outcome for this animal could have been very different.”
