In an amazing act of valor, the Los Angeles Fire Department air rescue unit rescued a dog from the raging waters of the Los Angeles river after days of torrential downpours that caused evacuations of several local communities

Captured live on local and national news a rescue hero identified as Firefighter St.George, repelled from a helicopter and wrestled the frightened shepherd into a harness with which he was airlifted out of the river and onto the roadway

In a further act of compassion, the firefighters then placed the cold, wet and frightened dog into their paramedic truck to be taken to safety
