Officials row rescue boat to where dogs were stranded

DEARBORN, Mich. – Dearborn fire officials on Thursday rescued two dogs that were stuck on the Dix water bridge.

The two dogs were trapped and surrounded by water when police arrived. Officials used a rescue boat to get to the dogs and pull them in.

A nearby driver witness the rescue effort, as officials paddled over to the dogs, pulled them into a rescue boat and paddled to safety. You can watch the video of the rescue below.

Two more videos were submitted by a witness, who was close to the area where the dogs were trapped and got a close-up look at officials pulling the dogs into the boat. You can watch those videos below.

The dogs appear to be shepherd mixes. They're being checked by veterinarians.

You can see photos of the rescue below.
