Summary
A small dog missing since the Fourth of July weekend was pulled from San Francisco Bay after a 16 July 911 call reported it entering the water near the Dumbarton Bridge in East Palo Alto.
Menlo Park firefighters said the dog kept swimming, prompting a rescue that deployed at least 2 trucks, a boat, an airboat and a drone after crews first tracked it from shore with binoculars.
Fire and police officers took part in the operation, and the department later posted rescue footage and photos showing firefighters toweling off the dog.
The local SPCA took custody after the rescue, located the dog's family and reunited the pet with them.
