The dog was seen running around a beach parking lot, before getting into the ocean and swimming out. The fire department is now trying to find the dog's owner.
Lifeguards were called out to the Junipero Beach parking lot around 6 p.m. Saturday after people had reported a dog running loose in the lot, according to the Long Beach Fire Department.
When lifeguards got there, they tried to corral the dog, but it was able to escape, ran to the ocean and started swimming out to sea. One of the lifeguards jumped into action, put on a wetsuit, grabbed his rescue board and buoy and went out to get the dog. The dog made it out to the swim line, according to LBFD, and the lifeguard was able to get it on his board with the help of one of the rescue boats.
The lifeguard brought the pup to shore and Animal Services came to help it. Now, the LBFD is searching for the dog's owner.
