Two swimmers have Nico the dog to thank for their rescue after rip
currents swept them out off the shore at a Venice County beach in
California.
A woman was about 100 yards from the beach on Thursday afternoon, when
she became caught in a rip tide. Her husband swam out to help her, but
he became caught as well.
Nico, a 3-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog, instinctively swam out into the
ocean after the couple started screaming for help, dragging them back
to safety.
Nico's owners adopted him about six months ago and say he had no prior ocean experience before they got him.
Once the grateful, exhausted swimmers were back on the beach they asked Nico's owner, Dan Clark, if he was a trained rescue dog. Dan said, "This is the first I've ever seen him do anything like that."
