A Vancouver dog is very thankful for the public after a daring rescue this week.
According to Vancouver Police Department Deputy Howard Chow, "Griffen" was saved after it had jumped into English Bay on Thursday.
Thanks to those who jumped into English Bay to help an owner rescue her dog, Griffen. The drowning unconscious dog was carried out of the water, CPR performed and he was revived. Kudos to the officers who rushed Griffen and his owner to the vet to be checked out. #InItTogether pic.twitter.com/82cxQ0C0HH
