Crews continued to try and save the dog who was scared and biting anyone who came close.<\/p>\n<p>A 28-year-old male bystander jumped into the river to try and save the dog but he eventually needed to be airlifted out of the water by officials.<\/p>\n<p>Scooby was eventually retrieved by rescuers who were able to put a leash on the dog in shallow water. The dog and owner are expected to be okay.<\/p>\n<p>Captain Erik Scott of the LAFD held a press conference afterwards and told bystanders not to get involved in rescue efforts like the 28-year-old man did.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We know that individual was well-intentioned as well as other people are obviously very concerned about that canine, you better believe we are too. But when civilians jump in who don&#8217;t have the proper personal protective equipment and training to effect a rescue, they often become patients themselves,&#8221; he said.\n<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DOG RESCUE: A scared pup got trapped in the rain-swollen Los Angeles River during a storm on Monday &#8211; sparking a dramatic, nearly 90-minute rescue effort. pic.twitter.com\/z0UMAkg7ZZ\u2014 CBS Mornings (@CBSMornings) March 29, 2022 March 29 (UPI) &#8212; The Los Angeles Fire Department launched a 90-minute rescue effort to retrieve a German shepherd named Scooby from [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1038326,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[212],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1038325","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-odd-but-true"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1038325","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1038325"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1038325\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1038325"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1038325"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1038325"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
