We would do just about anything to save our pets. For many, that means putting themselves in peril if it means rescuing their cat, dog, or whatever else they may own. Police and firefighters from multiple agencies across the Hudson Valley worked together to save not just an escaped dog, but the owner who had gone to try to rescue the pet.

Search and Rescue 

Many agencies work across the state to help others who may be trapped or stranded. According to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation's website, Forest Rangers conducted 426 search and rescue missions across the state in 2021 alone.

Just recently in late November, the New York City Department of Environmental Protection helped rescue three fishermen from the Croton Falls Reservoir in Carmel, following the capsize of their rowboat.

The three men were taken to the hospital for evaluation and are reportedly okay.

Town of Tuxedo Police says they assisted multiple agencies Thursday to rescue a person who had fallen into the water at Sterling Forest. Officials say the unidentified man was walking his dog when the dog got off the leash and ran away to the water nearby. HV12 says the man then jumped into the water to save the escaped pooch.

Unfortunately, they now were both in trouble.

Officials were able to help rescue both the man and the dog, by pulling them up a ledge using ropes. Town of Tuxedo Police called the performance "an outstanding response and demonstration of interdisciplinary cooperation to protect the lives of the people in our Community."
