Columbus Fire Department in Indiana recently took to Facebook to share the story of a rescue of a dog named Kobe. In the post they shared how the dog got stranded after running away from home. The post also informed about the pooch’s happy reunion with its human.

“Kobe, a 1-year-old Boxer, had quite the adventure in the past 14 or so hours. CFD was called to assist Columbus Animal Care Services around 12:30 this afternoon for a report of a dog that appeared stranded on a sandbar in the Flat Rock River over US 31. When firefighters arrived it was obvious the Kobe needed some help. Firefighters were able to cross the river and bring Kobe back to shore. While the rescue was underway, a passerby stopped and reported that he knew the owner of the dog and quickly called the owner who met rescuers at the scene,” they shared.
“Kobe ran away from home last night and thankfully was reported by a passing motorist who saw him in the river this afternoon. A cheerful reunion took place on the bridge and Kobe was safely on his way home,” they added. The post is complete with images showing the rescue and the reunion.
