China: Maritime Patrol Rescues Dog After It Falls Into River in Jiangsu

On November 10, 2025, in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, a video captured a small dog struggling in a river after slipping from a boat. The footage showed the anxious boat owner attempting two separate rescues but failing each time as the dog drifted farther away. A maritime patrol vessel happened to be navigating nearby and quickly noticed the distress. The crew immediately maneuvered closer and used equipment to bring the frightened dog safely aboard.
