Amazing & scary rescue. Those waves & wind were no joke. I’m happy that everyone was safe. It’s nice to see the dogs owner had a life jacket for him too. ❤
God bless US Coast Guard ❤️
Thank you for all mercy around.
Why were this man and his dog in the ocean during a hurricane????
My shih tzu would have sank and then I have to throw myself in there to find him and then everybody would have to dive finding us lol
Thank you to the U.S. COAST GUARDS ❤🐾
the coast guard is fantastic!!!
Dog was like , yes help has arrived. Lol
Great rescue work, mans best friend in a life jacket melted my heart too.
Wow I’m so glad both the man and the dog were rescued safely!
This man shouldn't be allowed to own animals.
Coast guard just became a dog👍
CNN bullshit, anyone in the military laughs at this. Ranks to the footage embarrassing
Why was he out at sea in a hurricane? Should have rescued the dog and left the man.
What was he doing out there during a hurricane. There was plenty of warning. Then dragging his dog out too?
Amazing rescue!!
taking the doggo first ++
I think rescue swimmers are the bravest people alive. I am a poor swimmer but I can assure you I would not leave the boat or the ocean without my dog. God bless these brave heroes. God bless the man on the boat for taking care of his dog, and the dog for taking care of his human. This is just incredible to watch. ❤
Thanks Lord..God bless Florida
Why the hell was he out there??
Awesome video, so good to see man and his dog saved by courageous and skilled rescuers.
Thank you Coast Guard !
Thank you so much! Yay! you saved the doggie! and the guy! and he's wearing his swim vest! Good dog!

Does the guy not listen to the weather? We've had plenty of warning.
What the hell is he doing out in a hurricane?
So glad they brought the dog up as well, brought tears to my eyes. Thank you U.S. Coast Guard!
now this is the kind of thing that gives me that Patriotic feels
Why would you take your boat out knowing a storm is coming?
This is awesome! Dog jacket❤❤
This is what Heroes look like !!! ❤
God bless the Coast Guard!
Thank you Coast Guard!
Why did this make me cry
So glad to hear that they were both rescued. Kudos to the Coast Guard for the fantastic work that they do.
I do wonder, though, why he was out there on his boat in the first place. Unlike earthquakes and to some degree tornados, it's not as if there is no advanced knowledge of a hurricane.
If that had been a pure Golden Retriever he would have declined that basket and just stayed in the water 😆
Both the man & his dog were important! Thank you for saving them. I was on a Siesta Key Beach Service catamaran sailboat, where the drain plug wasn't put in. We didn't notice it was sinking in the back, we were facing forward. Eventually it flipped with the 2 ft, pontoons up & dumped us. We were out in the Gulf of Mexico overnight. The life jackets were waterlogged. How did we make it back alive…….the tide miracle. I never allowed myself to panic or think of sharks. Panic will kill you!
The storm warnings have been playing for days.
thank gawd they were rescued in time
SALUTE TO THE BRAVE AND AMAZING COAST GUARD RESCUERS FOR YOUR HEROIC ACTIONS AND THANK GOD THAT GENTLEMAN HAD A LIFE VEST FOR HIM AND HIS FURRY BUDDY
So glad they were rescued. The rescue divers and operations are really incredible people who put their lives in great danger to save others.
PRAYERS FOR ALL COAST GUARD MEMBERS .
Heck Yea! Great news!! Oh, and glad the dog's pet human was rescued, too!
Lifejacks for ALL on board ! Bravo.
Thank you for getting the dog. Also, y’all be safe.
Thank you Coast guard for rescuing the man and his dog.
