On July 19, 2022, in New York City, a dock worker on the Harlem River noticed a scared dog in the water struggling to stay afloat. The worker attempted to lift the 60 lb. dog out of the strong current but couldn't do it on his own. However, he managed to keep the pup's head above water while looking for help.

I read the linked article and it has a happy ending.

Aqua got a forever home.

I’m glad because I hate sad dog stories.
