I saw this incredible video this morning. Â A kayaker was out fishing when, what looks like a Visla, comes frantically swimming towards him from who-knows-where. Â Happily, the kayaker rescues the injured & terrified dog. Â The dog was taken to a vet and identified by it’s microchip as Barney, but no one knew how the dog had ended up in the ocean.
In a heartbreaking turn, the kayaker made the connection after seeing a story about Donna Chen who was out walking her dog about 1 mile inland and was run down & killed by a drunk driver, Blake Talman, in a hit-and-run. Â It’s believed Barney ran off in a panic and jumped in to the ocean to escape. Â How lucky that this kayaker was at the right place at the right time so the family didn’t have to suffer another loss.
