December 6, 2019, 5:40 PMCatch up on the developing stories making headlines.The U.S. Coast Guard Station Fort Myers Beach shared a video and photos on Facebook of their K-9 rescue at Bowditch Point.

The night crew rescue team responded to a call at the beginning of their shift about a"dog in distress" and spotted the canine paddling in the water to stay afloat. "Thanks to the crew’s expertise in intercepting non-compliant vessels and recovering a person in the water , our 'star' of the night was safely recovered and returned to her owner," the Coast Guard said in the Facebook post.

During the video one of the Coast Guard members can be heard telling the wet dog,"You’re the best person I’ve ever rescued."

This is love news like these brings joy it would be lovely if all similar acts of kindness love are?

Poor little dog should have been wearing a life jacket.

From the son of a Coast Guard rescue pilot, good job!

Thank you, Coast Guard, for saving that sweet fur baby !

I saw this story, it was a tear jerker. I love old dogs.

Why do I get the feeling that our society cares more about pets than humans sometimes?

Beautiful pup. Thanks

Wonder what he was doing so far from shore? Must not have been in the water long, so happy they spotted him. Hope one of them keeps him, he does not need any more trauma
