If you're an animal lover like 10 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 2: I am, currently navigating life with eight cats because family 11 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 2: is visiting eighteen chickens who act like they own the yard, 12 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 2: and one very sweet dog, this story will make you 13 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 2: misty id in the best possible way. Sadie, a black 14 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 2: Lavador Retriever mix, found herself in trouble that would shake 15 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 2: even the bravest pet parent. While her owners, Alexis Barseos 16 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 2: and Brandon Veldez, were watching a football game, Sadie slipped away. 17 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 2: She bolted from her home and found herself lost. Thankfully, 18 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 2: she had an air tag on her caller so that 19 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 2: they could track her movement down the San Diego closeline, 20 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 2: but land treking couldn't prepare them for what was happening 21 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 2: at sea. She somehow got swept out into the sea. 22 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 2: Surfer spotted a dog in his stress, swept into a 23 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 2: rip current near a jetty. Lifeguards were alerted immediately and Sun, 24 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 2: a US Coast Guard boat joined the search. Lifeguards, Garrett'smyrinian 25 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 2: and Jack Aldridge launched a personal watercraft combing the surf 26 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 2: for Sadie. More than an hour passed at that point. 27 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 2: I just kind of said, please let us find this dog, 28 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 2: Jock shared, and if you're a fellow pat parent, you 29 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 2: know that prayer. Garrett mentioned he believed Sadie could still 30 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,960 Speaker 2: be alive because labs are fighters, strong swimmers, built for water. 31 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 2: As time ran out, the search was nearly called off, 32 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 2: but then something bobbed in the distance. We got closer 33 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 2: and closer, and then we realized it was her, and 34 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 2: we were pretty excited. Jack said, pretty excited. They probably 35 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 2: wanted to helot the moon. Sadie was about a half 36 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 2: mile offshore near South Mission Beach, cold, exhausted, paus torn 37 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 2: from t T climb rocks, but alive. She was super 38 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 2: happy to see us, for sure, Garrett said. She was tired. 39 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 2: They carefully loaded her into the boat, returned ashore, and 40 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 2: reunited her with Alexis in Brandon. Alexi Roomer's in the 41 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 2: moment the rescue was confirmed, we kind of just held 42 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 2: our breath, she said. They were like, and the dog 43 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 2: is alive, and we just kind of started crying right away. 44 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 2: Her paws were shredded, her nails broken. The family carried 45 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 2: her everywhere for days. This week, though Paul's healed tail 46 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 2: high Sadie took her first one and a half mile walk. 47 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 2: She even made a salaberry trip to the pet store. 48 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 2: We were just beyond grateful she's home safe with us, 49 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 2: Alexis said. And I can't help but praise God for 50 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 2: giving us these furry companions steal socks, snuggle into blankets, 51 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 2: and somehow turn strangers into rescue teams United in Compassion.
