Ruff Waters: Helicopter Team Rescues Dog

A dog is in good health after being pulled from a swollen river in a dramatic airborne rescue.

The small brown pup, whose name is unknown, was spotted floating down Los Angeles River following thunderstorms on Friday afternoon.

Witnesses said the dog, thought to be a Labrador cross, was swept about a mile downriver near the Burbank border in California.

The rescue operation - which was caught on camera - saw a Los Angeles firefighter lowered on a cable from a helicopter before swimming towards the pup.
