Lifeguards rescue dog swept out to sea by rip current off San Diego coastA pup that was swept out to sea by a rip current must be feeling doggone lucky after her unlikely rescue off the San Diego coastByThe Associated PressDecember 4, 2025, 8:49 PMSAN DIEGO -- A pup that was swept out to sea by a rip current must be feeling doggone lucky after her unlikely rescue off the San Diego coast. Sadie, a black Labrador retriever-mix, stole away from the home where her owners were staying during a football game last month, the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department said in a social media post. While her owners tracked Sadie down the coast using an Airtag on her collar, surfers in Ocean Beach alerted lifeguards that a dog had been swept into the rip current near the jetty, officials said. A U. S. Coast Guard boat and lifeguards searched the area after the dog disappeared into the channel, officials said.
