Firefighters Haul Two Stranded Dogs Out of Spain's Segura River

Archena, Spain – Firefighters pulled two large dogs out of the Segura River in Spain's Murcia region after the animals were unable to climb out of the channel.

Footage released by 112 Región de Murcia on Sunday, November 8, shows a firefighter working on a rope at the water's edge below a steep, lined riverbank as the dogs are brought up the slope.

Several calls to the regional emergency centre at 8am reported the dogs trying and failing to get out of the river in La Algaida, a district of Archena, the service said. Archena Local Police did not have the equipment to reach them, so firefighters from the regional CEIS service were sent.

After the rescue, local police took charge of the dogs and were trying to find their owner.
