Dog Swept Into Storm Drain Rescued By Apple Airtag

California firefighters are able to locate and rescue a dog that was swept away in floodwaters thanks to the dogโ€™s Apple AirTag.ย Emilie Brillย was out walking her Australian shepherd,ย Seamusย [[SHAY-mus]], when the pup got swept away in rushing floodwaters. โ€œHe got away from me and he just went down into this drainage,โ€ Brill recalls, โ€œThe water was going so fast, I think all it took was one paw in that water and he was gone.โ€

Brill immediately called 911 and firefighters were dispatched to the area to help. The crew started canvassing the area and were soon flagged down by an employee at a local RV facility, who said heโ€™d seen the dog and heard it barking nearby. Using the Apple AirTag on Seamus, firefighters were able to pinpoint his location to a drainage tube, one mile from where he was initially swept away.

They were able to go down into the drain and bring Seamus back to the surface. โ€œFirefighters quickly made access to the dog, bringing him up the ladder to safety,โ€ San Bernardino Fire reports. โ€œAfter assessing the dog he seemed uninjured and in good spirits.โ€ Brill was relieved to be reunited with her pup and impressed with the fire departmentโ€™s work. โ€œI was just blown away by that level of response from our emergency services,โ€ she says. โ€œAnd just really grateful that there are people that understand that dogs are family members.โ€
