The Miami Department of Fire Rescue were alerted about a dog in distress in a canal after witnesses said they had heard the dog barking for hours. Fireboat crew member Rudy Gil jumped in the water and rescued the female boxer-mix, and the official Miami Fire Rescue Twitter account uploaded photos with the dog after the rescue. "Other than exhaustion she seems to be in good health!," Miami Fire Rescue said. The dog had no collar, but authorities will try to locate her owner by checking to see if she has a microchip.
